May 20, 2024If Crumb’s first two full-lengths squeezed worlds into safety-sized containers, this record is as authoritative as they’ve ever sounded. It sprawls in the vein of psych-pop genre-benders King Krule and Toro y Moi, but also manages to feel singular, a standalone statement of their ever-evolving identity.

May 20, 2024AMAMA is a record that reminds me that music is supposed to be fun—it doesn’t need some greater cultural indication or grand artistic statement to be good or worthwhile. Sometimes Crumb’s transient musings about strawberry seeds and deceased reptiles will do the trick.

May 20, 2024AMAMA, the new record from New York collective Crumb, is another beguiling chunk of spacey psych-pop, a continuation of their playful experimentation with genre and the possibilities of sound.

UncutMay 24, 2024The lullaby-like psych of “Side By Side” and the more insistent rhythms of Amama’s title track are both enriched by the avidly experimental bent. Even better are the summery “(Alone In) Brussels” and “Dust Bunny”, which sound like they could be long-forgotten yé-yé hits gone warped and frayed after too long in the sun. [Jul 2024, p.32]
