Crumb share new single, "The Bug"
Following the announcement of their new album, AMAMA last month, Crumb have shared another taste of the LP with the single, "The Bug".
“‘The Bug’ is a song that has existed in our universe since early Crumb days, pre-Jinx era. The origins go back to a motel in Nebraska on one of our earliest tours when I woke up with a bunch of bed bug bites," says Crumb’s Lila Ramani. "Wired and unable to sleep, I wandered around the motel singing what would become the outro to the song. Years later when we were finally recording it, it took on a more tender meaning…the bug doesn’t have to be an insect - the bug can be a friend, a lover, or that nagging feeling that finds you late at night”.
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.
AMAMA is set for release on 17 May via Crumb Records, and is available to pre-order now.
