New Cryptacize Video - "Blue Tears"

thumbnail icon: New Cryptacize Video - "Blue Tears"

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.


(Via P4K, directed by Weston Currie)

To take with you on your own great escape:

Cryptacize - "Blue Tears" (MP3)

Mythomania is out 4/21 via Asthmatic Kitty.

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

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?
