Athsmatic Kitty is releasing some amazing stuff this year. First they drop DM Stith’s excellent new record Heavy Ghost, and now they’re prepping possibly their greatest new one of the year with Cryptacize’s Mythomania. You may remember me mentioning their involvement in Nick Krgovich’s Prison Musical only the other day. If you Weren’t already won over by their debut Dig That Treasure, Mythomania might just do the trick. Cryptacize cover all grounds here, nodding to everything from flamenco guitar rhythms (‘I’ll Take the Long Way’) to all out odd instrumentation (‘Tail & Mane’). This unique style lays grounds for some similarly strange vocal qualities. Look no further than the title track ‘Mythomania’ to find the perfect example of Nedelle Torrisi’s unique and affecting vocal style. Each member of Cryptacize compliments the other, and no song better embodies this than album stand-out ‘The Cage’. The album doesn’t come out until April 21, but you’ve been given the perfect opportunity to hear it live this Thursday when they play Holocene. And hey, the also amazing Ariel Pink is headlining!
