Premiere: After a lifetime away, psychedelic pop icons The Crystal Set exclusively reveal their stunning new single ‘Critical Mass’. The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - one of my favourite quotes from one of my favourite movies (Blade Runner) - is an apt description for late eighties/early nineties Eora/Sydney band The Crystal Set. Disbanding almost immediately after the release of their epic second album 'Almost Pure' - an album that is still on my regular play list - The Crystal Set produced melodic jingle jangle psych pop of the highest order: enigmatic, anthemic and very cool. Signs of a pulse emerged when the band reformed in 2024 supporting The Ups & Downs, and they later headlined last year on a tour down the the East Coast of Australia to sell out venues.
