Cryptacize-Mythomania


Asthmatic Kitty is a downright horrible record label. With every one of their releases the world gets that much more boring and I'm not just saying that because most of the time I want to choke the life out of Sufjan Stevens.

Cryptacize, however, are the exception to the rule. It might be the fact that the inimitable Nedelle Torrisi, perhaps better known to you as just Nedelle, is involved. Or it might just simply be their laudable, inspired songwriting. Either way, I'm convinced.

Gorillavsbear had this to say:

"Cryptacize's adventurous second album, Mythomania, is due out April 21 on Asthmatic Kitty. The label hooked us up with the premiere of "Blue Tears," a galloping, charmingly fragmented avant-pop jam that sounds like dramatic '60s girl-group pop-meets-guitarist Chris Cohen's former band, Deerhoof. Nedelle Torrisi's voice shines brightly with what Sufjan Stevens calls "the uncomplicated clarity of a 1950s movie musical," making it pretty easy to get lost in the group's simple, oddly infectious melodies"
