Crystal Fighters Release New Single BOOMIN' IN YOUR JEEP Through New Deal With Warner Bros. Records  Image

Crystal Fighters formed in the UK when they started playing warehouse parties across London for fun and now this summer they're headlining a run of huge European festivals. After playing Coachella in 2016 and having songs licensed by Adidas, Google, Sony, Samsung and more, the band's joyous explosion of beats, electronics and bass is ready to take-over the U.S. with their new single "Boomin' In Your Jeep," which is their first release with Warner Bros. Records.

The track captures the band's famous spirit, character and color. It's a joyous, intoxicating mix that exudes positivity.

"Boomin' In Your Jeep" was written on the same MPC that frontman Bast Pringle has used since he was a teenager, and in the same warehouse where the band recorded their stellar debut collection Star of Love. This song pays homage to the band's past while pushing them to a bright new future.

Directed by Tyler Yee (G-Eazy, A$AP Ferg), the track's accompanying video sees the band jumping in jeeps to travel to an abandoned airplane deep in the heart of the Mojave Desert.

"Boomin' In Your Jeep" is the first taster of the band's new material, more of which will be unveiled soon. "It's a new journey with a new sound and a new approach that's still true to our core values," says multi-instrumentalist Gilbert Vierich. "We'll always be about mixing sounds, and combining the old with the new. We see ourselves as global citizens; dreaming of a world without borders and of music without genres."

Crystal Fighters' music is infused with intriguing instrumentation as the band has been on an international voyage of discovery with members living for periods of time in Peru, Costa Rica, and the Basque country. Their unique style has caused NME to comment that, "Crystal Fighters have stood out as one of the most interesting prospects by a mile - something genuinely new sounding."

Crystal Fighters have graced the mainstage at a slew of notable festivals, including the three biggest in the U.K.; Glastonbury, Leeds, and V Festival. They garner stellar live show reviews and have toured the globe, delighting fans across Europe, Australia, Asia, Mexico and the U.S. Graham Dickson glows with passion as he describes their shows as being, "like all of the elements of the universe combining into one moment and exploding." Gigwise's summary was more prosaic but no less true: "The best festival band on the planet."
