Editorial Reviews
Over three years in the making, Cryptooology is Yowie's debut album. Yowie is a dual-guitar and drums trio from St. Louis who has been stunning audiences in the Midwest with their befuddling barrages of sonic kung fu. They accelerate the progressive-rock rhythmic sensibilities of Ruins, Yes, Magma and King Crimson and mutate them with the shriekier side of DNA, Big Black, Henry Kaiser and Slayer. The band incorporates many variations in time signature, tempo and tuning, but no matter how complex things get, their compositions remain cohesive and compelling.
Earlier this year, with their debut still being recorded, Yowie’s live show garnered them a nomination in the Riverfront Times 2004 St. Louis Music Awards, alongside local acts as diverse as Nelly, Chuck Berry, Jay Farrar and Chingy!

Wowie!,
This review is from: Cryptooology (Audio CD)
So, I stumbled upon this band using Pandora and was glad. I love this sort of music, sort of arhythmic jumbled beauty, what they call math rock I guess. Obviously these guys are very talented, this is very technical stuff.
My only detraction, which I don't even know that it is one or if it is just part of the uniqueness of the album (reflected by the female T names), but it can be hard to distinguish between songs. Also, there's about an 85% chance that your loved ones will not understand the music, they'll probably hate it. It takes a special kind of person to get Captain Beefheart, same goes for Yowie.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Genius,
This review is from: Cryptooology (Audio CD)
This is the most original and creative piece of music I have ever heard. If you are a open minded musician you will atleast appreaciate the academics of this.
