Drool! Gaw I’m so in love with Cryptacize. Her voice dropped straight from heaven! And the percussion is so interesting. There aren’t a lot of bands that can achieve accessibility and innovation simultaneously. Crypatacize is a great reference point for the genre of “experimental pop.” Totally catchy, but not necessarily predictable and very inspired.

DETROIT-born and built on love in 1996, sophisticated shoegazers Le Ren were formed when Nardo rocked the 4-track with tones that filled the sky with stars. Now based out of Austin, TX Le Ren is on a mission, although it can’t be explained... it may never be… One thing Le Ren can say is love, love, love...
Austin ambient experimentalist Douglas Ferguson can be described as such:
“Insert the inviolable disc, neophyte, and press play. Now close your eyes and visualize the one true Douglas Ferguson. Mark that he placidly maintains the full lotus, unwavering beneath the wild ragged locks of an ascetic, and sporting some very hip boots. He floats effortlessly atop the glassy surface of a deep singing flow of quicksilver drone wider than big muddy, churning and rolling just as darkly beneath. Notice no clouding of his brow as the flow quickens upon entering a narrow, twisting gorge. Now hear the ghosts of laughing melodies reverberating between rock faces over the raging river. No fear, your pulse will resume as Douglas pilots the mercury surge through a gently widening delta, spreading across the endless mirrored plane of a polished ocean, under the pale light of a rising moon.”
