June 14 street date. New York psych-pop band Crumb return with "AMAMA", their most carefree and open-hearted album to date. A soundscape full of playful and patchwork experimentation - glitchy pitch-shifted vocals, cell phone recordings, nautical blips, sax mouthpiece solos, blasted drum samples, and piano strings dampened with Silly Putty - "AMAMA" continues to deepen the band's hypnotic sound in a cohesive line back through 2021's "Ice Melt", 2019's "Jinx", and breakout EPs "Locket" and "Crumb". Without a doubt, "AMAMA is Crumb" at their most animated. It exists at the crossroads of psychedelia, pop, jazz, and rock, and cements Crumb as a band uniquely their own. "AMAMA" is an incandescent statement about searching for solid ground, connection, and clarity in a life of nomadic upheaval.

May 17 street date. New album from the most danceable post-punk pop band in the UK. Crumbs have been incubating this, their second album, for a few years now. The songs burst out with pure pop fire, sending splinters of guitar, sharp lyrics, and snatches of the catchiest backing vocals. The rhythm section is like Delta 5 meeting Le Tigre in a dark alley in Leeds, fusing blindly and completely, and then forcing its way into the back entrance of a venue, sending volts through the limbs of the unwitting punters, forcing them to dance. This is TIGHT. And as the lights come on and the indie kids throw themselves around, Ruth's vocals sweetly assault their ears with anger, joy, political intelligence - and all around, Stuart's guitar, sometimes twangly-melodic like the B-52s, sometimes sweet and ringing like a memory of Scars, sometimes furious and feeding back, keeps you alert and thirsty for more. Limited to 500 copies.
