REVIEW: Cryptacize "Mythomania"

Cryptacize

Mythomania

LISTENABLE

Cryptacize, a California indie-rock band, doesn’t rely on things like timing, standards, and supposed influence to create their eclectic sound. So, when experiencing their new album Mythomania, it’s important to put your ideas of what your indie is supposed to sound like to the side.

Part Deerhoof, part Why?, songs like “One Block Wonders” feature singer Nedelle Torrisi's high tenor voice box combined with a trebled rock guitar straight out of the late 60s. At the same time, “Tail and Mane”, the album’s first song, might as well be considered a circus waltz fit for a clown. - Randy LoBasso
