Cryptograms (album)
''Cryptograms'' is the second album from Atlanta, Georgia-based indie rock group Deerhunter, released through Kranky Records on January 29, 2007 on CD and vinyl. Following the 2005 release of its first full-length album ''Turn It Up Faggot'', Deerhunter began recording material for its next record at Rare Book Room studio in New York. This initial recording session failed, due to the physical and mental state of lead singer Bradford Cox, as well as malfunctioning equipment in the studio. The band returned to Atlanta, only giving recording a second try after encouragement from members of the band Liars. The final version of ''Cryptograms'' was recorded in two separate day-long sessions, months apart, resulting in two musically distinct parts—the first includes more ambient music while the second contains more pop music elements. Cox sang most of the record's lyrics in a stream-of-consciousness manner; they include themes of death, companionship, and Cox's experiences with his genetic disorder Marfan syndrome. ''Cryptograms'' was generally well received by critics, and several publications placed the album on their lists of the top albums of 2007.
==Recording==
Deerhunter first attempted to record their second album in 2005 with folk musician Samara Lubelski at Rare Book Room studios in New York. This recording session failed, due in part to the physical and mental state of lead singer Bradford Cox, who had influenza and walking pneumonia at the time.〔 The group was also working with malfunctioning equipment, including an out-of-tune piano and an uncalibrated tape recorder.〔 Cox later described the results of these sessions as sounding like "if you listen to ''Loveless'' on mushrooms, and I mean that in not a complimentary way". In an interview with Pitchfork Media, Cox said that the music was "on a scratched CD-R under my bed", which "nobody will ever hear".〔 〕 These tracks were later made available, in mixtape form, on the Deerhunter blog.
Following the failed session Deerhunter returned to Atlanta. The group became acquainted with punk band Liars, who encouraged them to give recording a second try.〔 For their second attempt, Deerhunter returned to the same rural Georgia studio in which they had recorded their debut album ''Turn It Up Faggot''.〔 This time successful, the album was recorded in two parts: the first half was recorded over one day-long session, completely filling the reel of tape the band had brought with them. The last song of this recording session, "Red Ink", ends with the tape spinning off the reel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=June 9, 2007 )〕 The second half, recorded months later over a single day in November, begins with the song "Spring Hall Convert". During this recording session Cox had the flu, and his congestion caused his voice on the album's pop tracks to sound "really weird () I always thought I would go back and redo them, but we never did."
''Cryptograms'' was followed four months later by a four-track extended play, ''Fluorescent Grey'', which was recorded while ''Cryptograms'' was being mixed.〔 Cox indicated that each new track was worthy of being a single; one music critic characterized the EP as being less "dreamy" than ''Cryptograms''. When ''Cryptograms'' was released on vinyl as a double album, the ''Fluorescent Grey'' tracks took up the fourth side.〔
