Cryptacize makes songs that are playful, tuneful, daring, and surprising. Did the songs really come from a magical book, as the band suggests? It seems plausible. Guitarist Chris Cohen used to play with Deerhoof, and he retains some of that exacting wildness. Singer Nedelle Torrisi has one of the most precise and plangent voices around. Together with bassist Aaron Olson and drummer Corey Fogel they set their songs loose in the WNYC Studio, and talk with host David Garland.

Hi, don't know if your show is live but if so can you ask your guests if they are influenced by Mexican corridos, etc? I seem to hear that underneath many of the tunes.... thanks!
