Crumb, the New York psych-pop band, has returned with AMAMA, an album that exudes carefree and open-hearted vibes. The soundscape is a whimsical and eclectic blend of experimental elements, from glitchy pitch-shifted vocals to cell phone recordings and nautical blips. With sax mouthpiece solos, blasted drum samples, and piano strings dampened with Silly Putty, AMAMA takes Crumb’s hypnotic sound to new heights, building on their previous works such as 2021’s Ice Melt and 2019’s Jinx, as well as their breakout EPs Locket and Crumb. Undoubtedly, AMAMA showcases the most lively and spirited version of Crumb yet, with lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Lila Ramani, keyboardist and saxophonist Bri Aronow, bassist Jesse Brotter, and drummer Jonathan Gilad in top form. Blending elements of psychedelia, pop, jazz, and rock.
