Alice Glass has shared a new solo single called ‘Love Is Violence’ – you can listen to it below.The track will appear on the former Crystal Castles singer’s debut solo album ‘PREY//IV’, which is due for release on February 16.

It follows on from last year’s ‘Baby Teeth’, ‘Suffer And Swallow’ and ‘Fair Game’.“Almost everyone can relate to the sometimes unbearable ups and downs that occur in relationships,” Glass explained of the inspiration behind her latest offering.“But for those of us who have dealt with manipulative or toxic partners, there is a whole other layer of pain.

Any person who uses their partner’s ‘love’ to control, use, and hurt them is using one of the most cruel and disgusting manipulative tactics in human experience.”She continued: “Disguising power struggles and calling it ‘love’, it’s a form of violence against a partner.

I want to help people to see those red flags and encourage them to remove themselves from those types of toxic situations.”Speaking to NME for this week’s Big Read cover feature, the Canadian artist – real name Margaret Osborn – opened up about her experiences with her former Crystal Castles bandmate Ethan Kath.Glass accused Kath of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse in 2017.
