Baptism

About Baptism

“Baptism” is a hyper-charged collision of trance-driven synths, frantic bleeps, and Alice Glass’s primal shrieks—Crystal Castles wield fear and beauty like twin blades. The track’s morse-code verses sting, while the pounding rhythm body-slams you into a dark alley of euphoric intensity. The official video, released on October 8, 2010, combines Glass’s frantic vocals with glitch-heavy digital effects and surreal imagery of a burning house. It’s an aesthetic acid trip that underlines inner and outer turmoil. .
