Crystal Fighters are an English/Spanish electronic band who formed in Navarra, Spain in 2007.

'Star of Love' is the name of the first album by Crystal Fighters. It was released to critical acclaim in the UK on 4 October 2010 via the band’s own label Zirkulo. In Europe, the album is licensed to PIAS. It will be released in Australia via Liberator Music.

The BBC called it an “assured, sporadically thrilling first shot” while Artrocker said "this lot really are a rare talent that you’d be foolish to ignore." Mojo Magazine gave the album 4 out of 5, stating "there’s a thrilling carnival atmosphere to 'Star of Love'...unique and highly moreish". The Fly called it "a record as high in energy and delightfully messy as their now notorious live performances"

The collection of songs explores the themes in singer Laure's grandfather's writings. Themes include the unfathomable mystery of the universe, the turbulent journey towards being at peace with death, the triumph of love, and the omnipotence of the sun. Star Of Love is actually an acronym for SOL, the Spanish word for “sun”. Each song tells a story, both sonically and aurally, and each story has its cryptic connections with the dark and tormented world of the original opera.

The album was produced by Crystal Fighters, and mixed by Charlie Hugall (Florence & The Machine, Jack Penate), Alalal (Mark Ronson, Paul Epworth), and Crystal Fighters. Champion Sound was produced by Luke Smith (Foals) and Crystal Fighters.
