Alice Glass has responded to her former bandmate’s comments regarding her, calling his statements “manipulative”.
Yesterday, Crystal Castles’ Ethan Kath shared ‘Frail’, the first new song since Alice Glass quit the band last year. Along with the track, he also posted (and later deleted) a statement to his Facebook page regarding Glass and her departure from the band. It read:
"i wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. i think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. it should be rewarding for her considering she didn't appear on Crystal Castles' best known songs. (she's not on Untrust Us. Not In Love, Vanished, Crimewave, Vietnam, Magic Spells, Knights, Air War, Leni, Lovers Who Uncover, Violent Youth, Reckless, Year of Silence, Intimate, 1991, Good Time, Violent Dreams etc.). people often gave her credit for my lyrics and that was fine, i didn't care."
He then later shared a new post, writing: "i wish my former vocalist the best of luck in her future endeavors. i think it can be empowering for her to be in charge of her own project. <3 this is Edith on vocals".
Today, Glass took to Twitter to respond to his comments. You can read what she had to say below:
for the record, i wrote almost all of the lyrics in my former band and the vast majority of the vocal melodies

manipulative statements about my contributions to the band only reinforce the decision I made to move on to other things
