Crystal Stilts - Radiant Door - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It's no secret that Brooklyn is home to mighty happening music, but few bands have as unique a vibe and presence as Crystal Stilts. Formed in 2003 by Brad Hargett and JB Townsend, the band quickly recorded their debut single, Shattered Shine, with Sean Mafucci (Gang Gang Dance, Kid Congo Powers). The combination of Hargett's deep and mysterious vocals and Townsend's classicist garage twang struck an immediate chord with New York's music lovers, and 2005 and 2006 saw the band play with everyone from Blood on the Wall and cause co-MOTION! To the Long Blondes and 1990s, culminating in the addition of organ player Kyle Forrester (Ladybug Transistor) and the recording of a four-song EP.

Omnibus Wind Ensemble - Sotto Il Segno Del Sole [COMPACT DISCS] date 03/30/2010

2013 from the Alt-Rock band. Crystal Stilts first came to attention with a self-titled EP in 2005 and 2008's Alight of Night, an early ripple in what would soon be perceived of as a wave of fuzzy, reverb-laden bands. The intervening years have seen the band evolve, with 2011's robust in Love with Oblivion, and the Radiant Door EP. Founded by vocalist Brad Hargett and guitarist JB Townsend, Crystal Stilts have since come to include Andy Adler on bass, Keegan Cooke on drums, and organist Kyle Forester. This five-piece has come together and crafted Nature Noir.
