Having flown around the world on the wings of a few singles, Crystal Castles are ready to settle down on a slightly firmer foundation: the full-length record.

The band's self-titled long-playing debut is due February 19 from Last Gang Records, and sports 16 action-packed tracks, from their recent collaboration with L.A. noiseniks HEALTH to the slightly scandalous "Through the Hosiery". Indeed, Crystal Castles plan to spend a little time in the States with their friends in HEALTH come spring (dates TBA), following their current run of intercontinental dates through the rest of the year.
