We got some 'Unusual Animals Vol.4' 7"s all the way from the US and it's a split from Cryptacize and Why?. The Why? track sounds awfully familiar... Ah that'll be because it's a cover of 'As I Went Out One Morning' from Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding LP. Phil is feeling this one and actually it's a pretty good version. Cryptacize do a number that has me scratching my head until the point that I've scraped off the scalp and revealed my pearly cranium... A quick google search reveals it's a Steely Dan Cover... Thank the lord.. I was almost down to brain. On Asthmatic Kitty with a picture of a sea cow on the front.On this fourth volume of the Unusual Animals split vinyl releases we find a larger-than-life classic of the Disco era shrunken down to miniature size by the Bay Area's premier paranormalists, Cryptacize. Whereas Steely Dan's studio magic can only be attributed to millions of dollars in major corporate backing, Cryptacize pulls it off with just a couple of claves, an autoharp, and a fuzz-pedal, arranged and recorded by Cryptacize with help from up-and-comer Dominique Leone. On the B side, Cryptacize's Bay Area neighbors WHY? (Anticon) reinterpret Dylan into a bass driven mystery night train anthem for reflection and cruising.
The Unusual Animals Vinyl Series pairs Asthmatic Kitty roster artists with friends and sometimes-unlikely bedfellows. Each record includes a beautiful rendering of one of Mother Nature's stranger inhabitants by illustrator Jared Chapman. This limited-edition series expands the Asthmatic Kitty family to include some unexpected folks.
