One thing proven by the rise of Crystal Stilts rise to prominence among New York's hipster elite is that the kids aren't tired of bands that sound like Interpol. Or to be fair, Joy Division. The band's new Album, Alight of Night, is a moody affair that had it come out in the 80s would have considered Goth. But it's come out in the new millennium, so let's just call it indie rock and move on. The lyrics are buried deep in the mix and soaked in reverb. Added to this the sea of guitar fuzz and you have a dreamy concoction. The only problem is that there aren't enough moments on the record to snap you out of the dream into the waking world. This isn't music for a party at your pad. It's music for a coffee shop between spoken word performers.
