Alight Of Night is a garage-weaned, art rock, squat-dirty masterpiece.
-
Easily the most exhilarating rock 'n' roll record to emerge in 2008.
-
MojoAlight Of Night is devoid of current context, making for a weird timelessness. A treat. [Mar 2009, p.108]
-
The sound on Alight of Night is a swinging, noisy, glammy and overall dark evolution of garage rock.
-
This, of course, can be a drag, but when said influences are as carefully picked, pristinely melded, and precisely replicated as they are in the case of Crystal Stilts, it can be a real blast.
-
It makes for a workmanlike listen. For all the frills of doom and cadences of industry firing on all greasy pistons, the dynamics at hand are simple, rounded up summarily when the album presents its glaring contradictions as a matter of fact
-
You'll find more wit and invention on a solitary track by Ethan Kath and Alice Glass than you will on this depressingly retro and lumpen homage to a scene that wasn't even all that back in the day.
