Crystal Castles interview

"Hi, just to let you know that Zane Lowe played Not in Love and interviewed Crystal Castles about it on his BBC Radio 1 show last tuesday. He describes it as 'amazing' and 'one of the most brilliant tunes of the year'. It's an interview with CC rather than RS but it does explain how they came together, and they do talk about RS a lot! You can listen here - it's 29 minutes in. Availible worldwide I think but only until Tuesday." (Thanks Danny)

Update: Download the segment here. "It now includes both Zane Lowe segments and a Fearne Cotton Radio 1 part where she speaks of the song." (Thanks Aaron)

And if you don't have the track yet, you can get it at Slicing Up Eyeballs and Stereogum. I love to see all of the praise it's getting. (Thanks SUE and Lars)
