For fans of the indie-electro duo Crystal Castles, the news of the band’s sudden break up hit hard and fast. This is always the case when bands break up however, it feels almost as personal as the break up of a parental couple or, in some cases if the band is truly close to your heart, it can feel as if YOU have been broken up with. We have certainly endured the end of some amazing bands throughout the years. Here are a few of the bands that have broken our hearts when they broke off their music careers.

Ivana Wonder is drawn to things that don’t fit perfectly into a category. Perhaps that is why her art finds so much strength precisely when it brings together references, eras, characters, and possibilities that, at first glance, might seem incompatible. The result is a language of her own, built somewhere between the delicacy of Brazilian
In L.A., where reinvention is practically an art form, Yris Palmer is doing it in her own rhythm—through ambition, motherhood, and the kind of authenticity that doesn’t read like a highlight reel. In this season of “The Girls” on Hulu, she opens up about what fame can’t control: staying grounded, learning in real time, and
Kaya Conky is part of a generation of drag singers who have helped expand the boundaries of Brazilian pop music. A star of the scene, the artist has built an identity shaped by funk, performance, and a provocative aesthetic. Now, with her new album, MARIA BOA, she reveals a more intimate version of herself without
