It’s unclear how long we can mention that Sufjan-approved Cryptacize’s Chris Cohen used to play in Deerhoof. Maybe when his new band eclipses the old? And, really, maybe we shouldn’t even say “Sufjan-approved,” considering the band’s on the man’s label. Regardless, we recently gave you “Tail & Mane” from the Oakland Asthmatic Kitty trio’s forthcoming Mythomania. It was a bit of a love song. As far as we can tell — considering frontwoman Nedelle Torrisi role in this video — “Blue Tears” is a bit of an escape-from-a-hospital song. Which is where you should be if you’re actually crying blue tears.

  1. Saw Cryptacize opening for Danielson. Both were great. Developed inevitable crush on Nedelle.

  2. Neat video. Asthmatic Kitty is playing with some neat stuff.

  3. This has a late 60s vibe with a pinch of Vampire Weekend all over. Big props to Weston for the nice visuals.

    I love Nedelle!
    I set up a Pandora station for Danielle Howle and Nedelle popped up.
    Have been super smitten with her voice for a couple years now.
    Cryptacize is cool but it’s like Nedelle working through her artsy period.
    She’ll get back down to singing prettier and more easily lovable songs someday.
    What’s a Deerhoof?

  7. surprised they were able to film in oakland’s chinatown without the use of noseplugs. it smells like fish and poo. fishy poo.
