Crumb is a band that thrives on evolution, unafraid to venture far from their past successes. Since their breakout hit "Locket," the group has continued to push boundaries, with "AMAMA" showcasing bolder strokes of inspiration, psychedelic textures, and a fearless exploration of new sonic territories. The singer fearlessly showcases novel perspectives of her voice, while the producers introduce exotic yoga instruments and oriental percussion, adding layers of depth and intrigue to the music.

The vocal movements and patterns evoke shades of the Japanese math-rock scene, infused with a sense of calmness and hip-hop percussion. Despite its retro melancholy, "AMAMA" is imbued with elements of hip-hop instrumentals and British pop, offering a refreshing twist on folk modernity.

This release is recommended for listeners of all backgrounds and sensitivities, but it particularly resonates with fans of alternative rock due to its diverse sonic palette.
