On The Crystal Method, THE CRYSTAL METHOD’s KEN JORDAN and SCOTT KIRKLAND explore various directions of electronic music.  “While there’s plenty of hissing beats, belching production, squealing-breaks (and) keyboards for modern EDM heads to enjoy,” wrote Annie Zaleski of Alternative Press (Feb) in her review, “…the album is steeped in meticulous club music emphasizing silky grooves and sculptured adrenaline rushes.” Guests include LeAnn Rimes, Franky Perez (Scars On Broadway), Nick Thayer and mau5trap artist Le Castle Vania. “The Voice”’s season #2 contestant Dia Frampton (also known  as one half of indie duo Meg & Dia) is the featured vocalist on the album’s first single “Over It” impacting radio this month.
