  • Cryptacize is a California indie-rock band founded by Nedelle Torrisi and Chris Cohen which features their collaboratively written music. Cryptacize, along with Cohen's other project The Curtains, records for the Asthmatic Kitty label. Nedelle has released two cds on the Kill Rock Stars label, one as a solo performer and one as a member of the duet Nedelle and Thom. Cohen was also a contributing member of the band Deerhoof. After seeing percussionist Michael Carreira's solo cowbell videos on youtube, they asked him to join Cryptacize in 2007 and they recorded their debut album Dig That Treasure. Distinguished by a spare and bass-less sound, with Carreira's guiro, cowbell, and tambourine instead of traditional rock drums, Dig That Treasure (named after a musical written by Cohen's father in the 1950s) features pristine, almost Broadway-inflected vocals, along with jagged and percussive electric guitars. The songs follow an idiosyncratic musical structure and often have an absurd or melodramatic tinge. Cryptacize has toured the US with such renowned acts as Why? and Danielson. Following the completion of 2009's forthcoming Mythomania, bassist Aaron Olson joined Cryptacize.
