Dig That Treasure is the debut full-length from the newly minted trio Cryptacize, featuring ex-Deerhoofer/current Curtain Chris Cohen, occasional Kill Rock Stars roster-maker Nedelle Torrisi, and percussionist Michael Carriera. Awash in influences from movie musicals to free jazz, the disc emerges February 19 from Asthmatic Kitty.

And what's a new band and a new LP without a new tour to go along with them? Cryptacize's fall jaunt isn't exactly new, though their tour-capping San Francisco date is. Hoosier types ought to supplement their Halloween hayride and apple-bob with a stop tonight (October 31) at Indianapolis' Harrison Center, where Cryptacize-- along with Castanets and Deer Tick-- will help inaugurate the Unusual Animals Project Space/"specialized gallery" with a performance.
