'Through the Floor' will be the second single from Crystal Stilts' second LP In Love with Oblivion, to be released as a digital single on March 28th. 

'Through The Floor' is the second single from In Love With Oblivion. Taking a more conventionally "pop" tack than earlier release 'Shake The Shackles', Through The Floor is a two-and-a-half minute thrill ride reminiscent of late Velvet Underground or early Creation label singles and a breathtaking taste of their imminent new full-length.

Listen to 'Shake the Shackles here':

Crystal Stilts burst out of Brooklyn's storied post-punk indie scene in 2008 with a string of releases that culminated in their fantastic debut album Alight Of Night. Deftly combining the spooked 60s Texas psych of 13th Floor Elevators and Red Crayola, the gothic blues/punk howl of Gun Club, the dark, experimental DIYism of early Flying Nun/Xpressway groups and a dash of classic 60s pop by way of early Jesus & Mary Chain, Alight Of Night won universal accolades including an 8.1 review from Pitchfork and placings in Best Album Of The Year charts from everyone from NME to Rough Trade.

Crystal Stilts play at Manchester's Ruby Lounge on March 26th.
