Everything is dark with Crystal Castles. Whether it is their lead singer, Alice Glass, dressed in all black, meandering through a creepy cemetery or the droning beats the accompany her dark lyrics. Midway through the song she asks, “If I’m lost please don’t find me, if I jump let me sink. We descended from no one, with a wink”. Crystal Castles has made the anti-summer anthem and it’s a beautiful nightmare.

The last thing a new artist wants is to be described by naming musicians that they may have been influenced by or sound similar to, but in the case of Janelle Monae it’ll just make life a lot easier. Her music, to most, is “out there” with a variety of different influences. In her debut LP, the ArchAndroid (Suites II and III of IV), she dabbles in soul, rock, r&b, folk, funk and the list goes on and on. 10 years ago this array of genres may have been a bit too much for the average music listener but in an age of Pandora and YouTube, the listener today has a bigger palette when it comes to the variety of music they take in everyday.
