Itsy-bitsy California indie project Cryptacize is slowly turning into an actual band. Used to be it was just Nedelle Torrisi and Chris Cohen gently clanging their guitars and wiggling their tambourines. Now they've got a bassist and, on their new Mythomania (Asthmatic Kitty), I think I hear some actual drums chugging along behind all that blissful twee kitten juggling. Still spookily spare, though.
