Atlantic recording group Crystal Fighters have just unveiled a second track from their much anticipated forthcoming album, Cave Rave, which arrives stateside Tuesday, May 28th (see below for tracklisting). The euphoric summer anthem "Wave" was played for the first time yesterday by Zane Lowe on BBC's Radio 1. Listen to "Wave" here: http://youtu.be/C8VK28eCuQ0.

Tomorrow, Rolling Stone will premiere the band's video for "Separator." Visit www.rollingstone.com to watch.

Cave Rave was written in the Basque hills of Spain, a region that has been integral to Crystal Fighters' sound, having greatly inspired the band's debut album Star Of Love. Crystal Fighters then decamped to Los Angeles to record the album with Grammy-nominated producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, Air, M83). Watch "Cave Trailer," the album trailer here: http://youtu.be/5z_xNuTeNgI.

Having established themselves as one of the UK's most exciting live acts, Crystal Fighters will embark on a world tour next month. Kicking off in Spain on May 3rd, the tour sees the band throughout most of Europe (France, Belgium, United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland) before crossing the Atlantic for a North American tour in June (see below for tour dates).
