When Nedelle Torrisi (who has previously toured with Jens Lekman) & Chris Cohen (Deerhoof & The Curtains) watched a YouTube video of percussionist Michael Carrieira elaborately playing a cowbell, California’s Cryptacize was conceived.
With the recent Asthmatic Kitty release of their debut album, “Dig That Treasure,” the trio unloaded an atomic bomb of Super Sweet Minimalistic Pop that most likely demolished the hearts of every Indie Rocker within a 20 mile radius. Their sound is sparse, yet it intricately flows in directions that you would never expect. The songs are beautiful and lighthearted, but never seem cutesy or jokey.
Cryptacize are playing for FREE at End of An Ear (2209 S 1st) on Friday March 14th at 1:00, and again at the Okay Mountain Gallery (1312 E Ceasar Chevez) at 4:00.
They will also be playing their SXSW showcase show at the Central Presbyterian Church (208 E 8th) on Friday March 14th at 11:00pm.
