Californian experimental act Cryptacize have just announced their debut UK dates.

The trio – comprised of former Deerhoof/current The Curtains man Chris Cohen, vocalist Nedelle Torrisi and drummer Michael Carreira – have just released their debut album Dig That Treasure through Asthmatic Kitty, and play the following dates next month:

July
7 Brighton Engine Rooms
8 Nottingham Bunker’s Hill
9 Manchester Kro Bar
10 Leeds Fenton
11 London Luminaire *

* w/Lake, Half-Handed Cloud

And, if you’re the type that needs convincing from enigmatic Michigan songwriters who won't be posing for Playboy anytime soon, Asthmatic Kitty founder Sufjan Stevens has reviewed Dig That Treasure on his label’s website, here. Check the not-so-sly Vampire Weekend dig.

Sufjan should stop writing and start recording

Seriously what the hell is he doing - doesn't he realise we need more!? Illinois was ages ago now - also how is he going to do 50 state albums before he dies if he doesn't get a move on? (he clearly isn't going to do all 50 states but still...)
