December 6th on iTunes, accompanying tracks from the latest single by Toronto, Ontario's Crystal Castles will be released. The A-side of the single from the duo's album "II" features the smart remake of Canadian 80s group Platinum Blonde in Crystal Castle's cover of their song "Not In Love". This song went on to become another one of this year's most talked-about remixes featuring the vocals of The Cure's Robert Smith. Smith must have thought it very clever for Canada's Crystal Castles to be covering not only a band from CC's home province of Ontario, but also a rather glam group from The Cure's own era of new wave. Both Crystal Castles and The Cure currently share a label in Polydor subsidiary Fiction records.
