Crumb have released a new single, ‘The Bug’, lifted from their upcoming album AMAMA. The band announced the record last month along with the title track. Check out ‘The Bug’ below.
“‘The Bug’ is a song that has existed in our universe since early Crumb days, pre-Jinx era,” the band’s Lila Ramani explained in a statement. “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. 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”
AMAMA, the follow-up to 2021’s Ice Melt, comes out May 17 through Crumb Records.
