Their sophomore album entitled Cave Rave was released 27 May 2013. Crystal Fighters’ second album is called Cave Rave; the name of the album comes from the ancient European times when people were documenting creative experiences in caves. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and was set for release on 27 May 2013. The band call the Basque hills their “spiritual home and a great influence for the new album”; Basque mythology sparked interest in the band to pick up more exotic instruments from Africa and South America and use them all over the record.

On 18 February, they announced the release of Cave Rave, a larger tour in Europe and a tour across North America, and posted a full song called “Separator” on YouTube. The album artwork is by artist Paul Laffoley, and was premiered on Jay-Z’s Life + Times website on 18 February 2013. “You & I” is the first main single on the album. The song was debuted on BBC Radio 1′s Zane Lowe show as the “Hottest Record In The World”. Subsequently it has been added to BBC Radio 1′s playlist and 3FM in Holland’s playlist as Megahit. The video was directed by Elliot Sellers and was premiered on Vice Noisey. Sunless 97 remix was premiered on The Fader, and Gigamesh remix was premiered on Vibe. The album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnson, and mixed by Manny Marroquin in LA. When asked about their sound, the band replied it is “a meeting of old and new, human and robotic”. Wikipedia®.
Crystal Fighters – LA Calling
Crystal Fighters – LA Calling Lyrics:
Love this place but I gotta keep moving
You got the best thing right now it’s no illusion
It’s time for fun, love’s so new and young
Time has come for new movements
And we’ll be singing this song when you’re out
Everything will be better when you come out
Out of it, come out of there
Yeah everyone wants you out here
High all morning, ride all night
LA calling, bathed in sunlight
Cold as cash is, hot as lust is
I don’t want them
I want you, I want you.
I thought it was all gonna end
I didn’t want it to end
cos i was feeling on top
I was feeling on top of the world
Thinking about you girl
And we’ll be singing this song when you’re out
Everything will be better when you come out
Out of it, come out of there
Yeah everyone wants you out here
high all morning, ride all night
LA calling, bathed in sunlight
cold as cash is, hot as lust is
I don’t want them
High all morning, ride all night
LA calling, bathed in sunlight
Cold as cash is, hot as lust is
I know where my heart is
I want you, I want you, I want you.
I thought it was all gonna end
I didn’t want it to end
Cos we’re feeling on top,
We’re feeling on top of the game
From now on it’s never gonna be the same
Everywhere
Everyone gather round the world
And give thanks we’re of the world
Everywhere
Everyone gather round the world
And give thanks we’re of the world.
