Cult-favorite psych rockers Crumb have just released Ice Melt, their sophomore album and the follow-up to their 2019 debut Jinx. Stream it below via Apple Music and Spotify.
Ice Melt consists of 10 tracks in total and includes the three singles Crumb released earlier this year: the jazz funk “Trophy”, the moody “BNR”, and an energetic track called “Balloon”. As they hinted at with those songs, this new album sees Crumb exploring new corners of their style while staying true to the atmospheric psych-rock they built a name around.
Crumb wrote Ice Melt over the course of the past two years and recorded it in Los Angeles with producer Jonathan Rado. In a statement, lead singer Lila Ramani described the album as being a “return back down to earth” and a deeply felt examination of “real substances and beings that live on this planet.”
