Cryptacize allegedly formed soon after Nedelle Torrisi (former Kill Rock Stars artist) and Chris Cohen (The Curtains) watched a YouTube clip of percussionist Michael Carreira playing a mean cowbell. If their strange Internet bonds were any indication Cryptacize’s music for their debut would be full of whirs and clicks ”“ a hectic army of digital insects. Instead, the clockwork minimalism found on the scant 31 minutes of Dig That Treasure is that of potent chamber music.The spacey folk album opener 'Stop Watch' is certainly draped in plenty of instruments - including clanging bells, electric guitar drones, pastoral autoharp, piano and of course some cow bell. Treasure’s quietness stems from the way the stilted instruments are played. They hang over songs like a deep and trenchant fog. Cohen and Torrisi’s guitars serve as the diffracted light burning off the album’s minimal chilliness on 'No Coins'. Elsewhere we hear noise pop ('How Did The Actor Laugh' and 'Heaven Is Human'. Torrisi shares main vocals and she seems to take charge with her winsome diction. It’s a stone’s throw away from her break-up album The Locksmith Cometh.'Say You Will' has girl group charm with its motoring washboard percussion and wind-up autoharp. Cohen’s stop-and-go approach to music isn’t going anywhere soon but he’s reined it in considerably. Despite being remarkably delicate, Treasure has plenty of room for crashing waves of guitar on 'We’ll Never Dream Again'. Celestial back porch harmonica folkers like 'Dig That Treasure' balance everything out. Cohen is continuing to create his unique sonic landscape by playing a card straight out of his days working on his final album with Deerhoof (The Runners Four) ”“ you must be willing to be happy with a shilling of silence before you van dump out a treasure chest full of noise. 74%Links Cryptacize [myspace]
