Crystal Skulls is an American, Los Angeles, California-based indie pop band, named after a legend that there are 13 ancient crystal skulls hidden worldwide which have mystical powers. Known for their intelligent, smooth poppy sound, the band was started in 2004 in Seattle by Christian Wargo, with a line-up comprising drummer Casey Foubert, bass guitarist Yuuki Matthews and guitarist Ryan J. Phillips. They toured the United States with Black Mountain and Helio Sequence and released albums in 2005 and 2006, during which time they shared a practice space with another Seattle band, Fleet Foxes.

In 2007, Crystal Skulls broke up when Wargo joined Fleet Foxes and Foubert and Matthews joined Sufjan Stevens.

Crystal Skulls was relaunched in 2014 with a new line-up comprising Wargo, drummer Aaron Sperske (Father John Misty, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Beachwood Sparks, Lilys), Todd Dahlhoff (Electric Guest, Devendra Banhart), George Holdcroft (Daniel Johnston) and Thomas Hunter (Portugal. The Man, The Heavy).

gollark: You can get a rough high-level overview of it, but we've done that with brains.

gollark: They have billions of transistors in them, imaging them is hard itself, nobody actually knows how all the parts work, and they're designed with computerized design tools such that nobody knows what's going on with all the individual transistors either.

gollark: You can't really dissect a modern CPU and work out how it works, though.
