"Celestica" is the first single from Crystal Castles' second album, Crystal Castles II. The single was released digitally as an EP, featuring the three B-sides on the Doe Deer 12" EP. This single also included a single mix of "Celestica". A no-budget video for the track was released as well, directed by Rob Hawkins, a friend of the band.[2] No official artwork has been presented for the single.[3]

The song is said to have some relation to the Canadian factory Celestica in which Ethan Kath said that one of the workers allegedly committed suicide by jumping into a tub of hot plastic and that they still used the plastic to make products.[4]
