Cryptograms is the second full-length from Deerhunter, Atlanta’s discordant pop foursome, and the marks band’s first album on Kranky. Recorded purposely in two parts and the product of emotional, physical, and financial strain, the album expresses the last two years’ ups and downs with no-nonsense rock that will slay the cynics and satisfy the poets with a minimal, ambient finish.
