Album Review: Crystal Fighters - Star Of Love (Zirkulo) Crystal Fighters Tickets
Like Delorean? Stick with them; Crystal Fighter's spacy disco plays second fiddle to more accomplished acts
If it was possible to suspend your disbelief for the duration of ‘Star Of Love’’s descent into Balearic bombast, then you might be taken in by the Argentinean party crew’s oddly juxtaposed mission of simultaneously sounding like space-aged pioneers of danger-disco while being beach-side Lotharios. Sadly the reality behind their blueprint is less fighting aliens in spacestations and orgies on the beach; more Laser Quest down the Trocadero followed by a quick fingering in the bogs. With Delorean doing the same thing right now so much better, favouring Crystal Fighters would be like being handed an LCD Soundsystem record and chucking it to listen to Hadouken!.
