Crumb announce their third full-length album, AMAMA

Alongside the album’s announcement, the band release its title track, which serves as an upbeat and optimistic tribute to singer and multi-instrumentalist Lila Ramani’s grandmother.

“AMAMA is dedicated to my namesake, my grandmother, whose voice is sampled throughout the song. A video sent to me over WhatsApp of her singing originally inspired the melody and ethos of the song, from which I built its glitchy, warped foundation. It’s a love song! My partner and Crumb's creative director [Abraham El Makawy] directed the video, which combines his family's archival footage of the neighbourhood we grew up in, home videos from the band, as well as drawings from 702 fans who helped us animate the last part of the video. The song is the title track and spiritual centre of our new album.”

In 2023, Crumb released their single “Le Temple Volant” with Melody’s Echo Chamber. AMAMA follows a cohesive line back through breakout EPs self-titled Crumb and Locket, and subsequent albums – 2019’s Jinx, and 2021’s Ice Melt.
