They hate showing their faces to the public (as just about every photo of them will attest) and rarely give interviews, but Toronto duo Crystal Castles just can’t stop gaining popularity with the masses. At least, that’s the only plausible explanation as to why, on their forthcoming tour, Alice Glass and Ethan Fawn have scheduled stops that include everywhere from Brooklyn to DeKalb (a northern Illinois town known as the birthplace of barbed wire).

For these dates, they’ll showcase material from their forthcoming debut full-length, set for release March 18 on Last Gang Records. Check their MySpace page for tracks, videos, and a few remaining European dates to tide you over ’til the big tour.
