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.
