Crystal Fighters have announced details of their highly anticipated second album. Entitled ‘Cave Rave’, the album will be released on Zirkulo/PIAS on 27th May 2013 and one of the stand out tracks 'Separator' is now available for a listen online.
‘Cave Rave’ was written in the Basque hills, a region that has been integral to Crystal Fighters’ sound and that inspired their first album ‘Star Of Love’. Crystal Fighters then decamped to Los Angeles and recorded the album with Grammy nominated producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck/Air/M83/Paramore).
The album artwork for 'Cave Rave' is by the visionary artist Paul Laffoley. Commissioned by the band, the dense piece encompasses history, architecture, science, philosophy, religion, and transcendent spirituality, all themes explored by Crystal Fighters on this new album.
