Brooklyn shoegazers Crystal Stilts have seemingly switched gears for their latest single, “Star Crawl,” recently released on Sacred Bones. The track is a slow, drippy trudge through a surreal landscape of dreary vocals, heavy guitar action, and deadpan-style drumming; plus, in a thoroughly unexpected move, there are plenty of strings to go round. “Star Crawl” is both light and dark all at once, which I’m totally digging.
