I was watching The Wedge tonight and during a video for the song "Vanessa" by Grimes I was thinking an apt comparison might be Crystal Castles. Now, typically, when a comparison comes to mind it is often of the "sounds like" or "if you like x you'll like y" variety but this was an example of Grimes being the yin (soft, gentle) to Crystal Castles' yang (hard, aggressive) although they both feature high, sonically manipulated, female vocals over a largely electronic background. The other time that this sort of yin and yang comparison hit me so definitely was when first listening to Juana Molina's Un Dia and thinking that the yang to her yin would definitely be Drums Not Dead by Liars.
