Chris Cohen (part V) - Crytpacize


And lastly... the aforementioned Nedelle Torrisi (See Chris Cohen - part IV) becomes lead singer (or co-lead singer) to Cohen's newest band, Cryptacize.  Chris Cohen, as far as I know, is still doing the vast majority of the writing... and he sings as well... but Nedelle's voice is the element that sets Cryptacize apart from Cohen's other efforts.  Her old-style vibrato and crystal-clear voice is the kind of voice I could eat... or wish I could eat.

Cryptacize - Heaven Is Human
(2008: Dig That Treasure)
 - This song goes through so many changes but it's all beautiful, ear-pleasing, interesting, deep... but also clear and lightweight like most of Cryptacize's material.

Cryptacize - Dig That Treasure (2008: Dig That Treasure)
 - This song has harmonica... and it rules.

Cryptacize - Say You Will (2008: Dig That Treasure)
 - ...eat that voice.

Cryptacize - Tail & Mane (2009: Mythomania)
 - The chorus makes me soar.

Correct! Yea... Mr. Cohen actually gave me a discount on that t shirt because I didn't have enough money... such a nice guy!
