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: Besides, they have a time machine, they can work out better ways to do things than killing people if they are at all competent.

gollark: What? I guess you could blame them for various religious wars. But generally if that sort of thing happens there are underlying tensions anyway.

gollark: Anyway, it's very mean so the frog person should not do that.

gollark: It's quite easy to not know that from a small picture of someone in a robe and hammer standing in front of a wall or whatever.
