LTD OLIVE GREEN VINYL LP, EDITION OF 3,000.
"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 — singer
and multi-instrumentalist Lila Ramani, keyboardist and saxophonist Bri Aronow,
bassist Jesse Brotter, and drummer Jonathan Gilad — at their most animated.
AMAMA exists at the crossroads of psychedelia, pop, jazz, and rock, and
cements Crumb as a band uniquely their own. Released independently on
Crumb Records and produced alongside Johnscott Sanford and Jonathan
Rado in Los Angeles, AMAMA is an incandescent statement about searching
for solid ground, connection, and clarity in a life of nomadic upheaval."
