Crystal Fighters have today unveiled the video for their brand new single 'LA Calling'. 'LA Calling' - released 30th September - is the latest track to be taken from the London based trio's second studio album 'Cave Rave’ (out now on Zirkulo/PIAS/Atlantic) and follows on from the album's lead single 'You & I' which was playlisted on BBC Radio 1 and has amassed well over 1.5 million hits on YouTube. Fast becoming a live favourite, the anthemic chorus of 'LA Calling' rings out over tribal drums and sun kissed melodies that typify Crystal Fighters' unmistakable sound.   

The new single - again playlisted at BBC Radio 1 - pays homage to the process that Crystal Fighters underwent to complete ‘Cave Rave’. The band wrote the album in its entirety during a two-month spell in the Basque hills, their spiritual home. It was to Los Angeles that they then headed to record the new songs, with Grammy nominated producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck/Air/M83).  

The video, however, is informed by a summer’s hard touring. Cementing their reputation as one of the best live bands in the world – they have closed or headlined a record 19 stages at festivals around Europe this summer – highlights include the honour of closing Bestival at the Big Top stage on Sunday night, storming a fit to burst 14,000 capacity tent at Lowlands in the Netherlands in August, and holding their own Cave Rave at the Zugarramurdi cave in the Basque Country. Their upcoming autumn European tour will have them performing to 40,000+ fans over the course of 38 dates.  

Crystal Fighters will also play to over 10,000 unique fans in the UK alone this winter, culminating in an on-course-to-be-sold-out homecoming show at Brixton Academy Friday 22nd November.
