"The irascible goth-rock king will lend his moody vocals to Crystal Castles cut "Not In Love", and will see release on December 6 via Fiction. The single will be backed by acoustic (!) demos of fellow album cuts "Celestica" and "Suffocation". So, yeah, safe to say that everything on this release will be a fascinating listen at the very least."

Crystal Castles: "Not in Love" [ft. Robert Smith]

Yesterday we told you about a new Crystal Castles remix of their version of "Not in Love" (originally by Canadian new wave band Platinum Blonde) featuring none other than Robert Smith, and here it is! The Internet is a wonderful thing. Smith's voice is loud and clear on the track, which has to be one of the catchiest things Crystal Castles have ever been associated with. Listen above.

This new version of "Not in Love" is the A-side of a single due out December 6 on Fiction.

Heard this on X FM the other day. Very different from the 65DOS guest vocals. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for the single.

Surprised this wasn't announced on the news board. I know it's not strictly 'The Cure' but expected a bit of a plug.

Just downloaded the RSX mix for free (legit) , it's nice to hear Robert sing again , these are good lyrics for him.
Hopefully new Cure stuff in 2011.
