Touted as one of the band's to look out for in 2009, this British teen band had alot to live up to. And they haven't disappointed. Crystalised is the first single for the band and its painfully simple structure and sound makes its thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. The vocals are shared by the two guitarist. One male and the other female, their dark brooding yet oh so innocent voices leaves you begging for more. The most interesting and unique thing about this song comes in the third minute of the song where the two voices intertwine in the most unorthodox of ways as the male voice sings one line his female counterpart respond creating this cryptic conversation between the two. Truly stunning.
