Talking about ‘Love x3’, Sebastian from band
It’s asking for us to experience love as a collective. It’s what can sustain us, and heal us as a society,” he says. “We’re all in need of real connection. And we need music that speaks to us as individuals, as people who are fallible, and need help. Sometimes life can be a very tough place to be. Music can really help people open up.
The album, LIGHT+, sees the band's return to the sound that their global fanbase knows and loves - packed full of songs that look set to become firm festival classics in the years to come. melding traditional Basque instruments along with searing electronics and soaring hooks, LIGHT+ is a celebration of life and the light in each one of us that shines bright in the darkness.

When they finally were able to return to their base in the UK in the summer of 2021, Crystal Fighters were primed and ready to go. It was as if a fire had been lit inside them, resulting in song after song. Around 60 tracks were demoed – more than some bands write in their entire career – before the group entered the studio. The idea was simple: to give fans a fresh definition of Crystal Fighters by returning to their core values. As a result, LIGHT+ is packed with ideas – from rave workouts to tropical pop, from hints of cumbia to delicious pop melodies. “We wanted to get to the roots of who we are, and how we felt when we were first coming up,” the singer points out. “When we only wanted to make music for ourselves, and to make people dance at our shows.”
Right now, Crystal Fighters are living their lives in a ‘tranquilo’ fashion (a carefree expression common across the Spanish-speaking world – put simply, it means ‘all good’). Each moment counts, and they take life for what it is. “It taught us the value of collaboration,” he says. “The time we spent apart mellowed us all out, in a certain way. We’re happier than ever, and we want to use our platform to deliver our message to the greatest number of people that we can. As the album says, more light. More positivity, more clarity. We all need more hope in our lives.”
