History
Crystal Stilts was formed in 2003 by Brad Hargett and JB Townsend.[1] After releasing one single and an EP, the pair expanded to five members before signing to Slumberland Records in the US and Angular Recording Corporation in Europe and releasing their critically acclaimed debut, Alight of Night, in 2008. After a few bouts of touring and some down-time, the band made its triumphant Slumberland return in 2011 with the critically acclaimed LP "In Love With Oblivion", in April 2011 and an EP, "Radiant Door" in November 2011. The group currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.
