Tours with the Presets and Metric in 2007 set the stage for the release of Crystal Castles' self-titled debut album, which Last Gang released early in 2008. The duo worked on their own songs and also honed their remixing skills, tweaking songs for Klaxons as well as GoodBooks, Uffie, Health, and Bloc Party. "Alice Practice" was released as a limited-edition 7" in summer 2006 on Merok Records, also home to Klaxons its 500-copy run sold out in three days. One of the songs the pair recorded, "Alice Practice," was something of an accident: it was intended to be a demo of Glass testing out a microphone, but its presence on MySpace piqued record labels' interest. When Kath collaborated with singer Alice Glass on some songs in spring 2005, Crystal Castles' lineup was complete.

Kath got the moniker from the name of She-Ra's dwelling in the He-Man and Masters of the Universe cartoon series it's also the name of a 1983 Atari video game, which is oddly appropriate, considering that one component of the band's distinctive sound comes from a keyboard modified with an Atari 5200 sound chip. Crystal Castles, meanwhile, released ‘Amnesty (I)’, their first record since Glass’ departure, in 2016.Fusing low-res electronic noise and pop hooks so effortlessly that it can seem accidental, Crystal Castles began as producer/multi-instrumentalist Ethan Kath's solo project in late 2003. Glass has since embarked on a solo career, releasing her self-titled debut EP in August of this year. Glass parted ways with Crystal Castles in October 2014 and was replaced by new vocalist Edith Frances. Fortunately, there are many witnesses who can and will confirm that I was never abusive to Alice.” Her story is pure fiction and I am consulting my lawyers as to my legal options. Kath said: “I am outraged and hurt by the recent statements made by Alice about me and our prior relationship. Kath has denied Glass’ allegations in a statement via his attorney. It has taken me years to recover from enduring almost a decade of abuse, manipulation and psychological control. As difficult as it was, I knew that leaving was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I gave that up and started over not because I wanted to but because I had to. My music, my performances and my fans were all I had in the world.
“Leaving Crystal Castles was the single most difficult decision I’ve ever made,” Glass wrote. He picked me up over his shoulders and threw me onto concrete.” He held me over a staircase and threatened to throw me down it. He kept me from doing interviews or photoshoots unless he was in control of the situation… He became physically abusive. Kath was accused by Glass of “abusively and systematically targeting my insecurities and controlling my behavior: my eating habits, who I could talk to, where I could go, what I could say in public, what I was allowed to wear. It wasn’t always consensual and he remained sober whenever we were together.” Over a period of many months, he gave me drugs and alcohol and had sex with me in an abandoned room at an apartment he managed.
He figured out my insecurities and exploited them: he used the things he learned about me against me. In her statement, Glass claimed that Kath “was very manipulative towards me.
