History

Ramani, Brotter, Aronow, and Gilad met at Tufts University, often living and playing together until 2016, when they developed and recorded a collection of songs Ramani had started writing in high school and college. The collaboration resulted in the band’s first two EPs, Crumb (2016) and Locket (2017), the latter of which was released while the band was split between Boston and New York. Both EPs were independently released, with limited vinyl runs and cassettes released by DIY label Citrus City Records.

Crumb went on to release their debut full-length album, Jinx, on June 14, 2019.[2] The album received positive reviews from music critics.[3][4][5]

Music style

Indie Current described Crumb's sound on 'Locket' as psychedelic slacker-rock.[6] Paste Magazine called their sound a meld of "60s psych, loose jazz, and freeform indie rock into a soothing pop amalgamation." Their sound has been compared to Melody's Echo Chamber, BadBadNotGood, Quilt, Tame Impala, and Broadcast.
