A few years ago, the four members of Crumb met at Tufts University in Boston. They formed as a platform for Lila Ramani's songwriting. After two solid EPs, they released their self - titled debut album Jinx. Inspired by their rapid rise, a near - fatal car accident, and the production sound of Arthur Verocai, Jinx is a gem. The band creates amazing psych pop tunes that keep you guessing. While it may remind you of bands like Barrie and Men I Trust, Crumb isn't focused on crafting the perfect pop song. On Jinx, for every catchy riff or sweet vocal, there are jazzy modulations, tempo changes, or detuned synths. Ramani's vocals on 'Nina' and 'Fall Down' are reminiscent of Kevin Parker's style, with more creative instrumentation. The album's blend of psych, jazz, and pop is refreshingly original. It's like a less European, more laid - back version of Melody's Echo Chamber. Check out tracks like 'Ghostride', 'M.R.', 'Cracking', 'Jinx', 'Faces', and the exclusive bonus track 'Better' not available on digital versions. This black vinyl pressing comes with a printed foldout lyric insert and is from Crumb Records 2019. Highly recommended.
To enjoy your Crumb Jinx Vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and gently drop the needle on the groove. Make sure your turntable is clean and well - maintained for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After use, put the vinyl back in its sleeve and store it upright to prevent warping. The printed foldout lyric insert can be used to follow along with the songs. And don't forget to check out the exclusive bonus track 'Better' that you won't find on digital versions. Just sit back, relax, and let the music of Crumb take you on a journey.
