Crumb - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@jaredsims6910]

Crumb’s bass player is one of the most passionate musicians I’ve seen. He’s always so consumed by whatever he’s playing

[@jaredsims6910]

The drums are incredibly tight, and the guitar and keys add so much distinguishing flavor

I just saw them live and I totally agree. They have such an original sound...a lot of textures in their sound if that makes sense, really good production. I was getting some lonerism vibes hearing them live. But then some of their songs are jazzy/funky...I'm obsessed. The sky's the limit!

[@ericmsandoval]

He could pretend he’s at least having fun tho…

[@MangoMang]

@@ericmsandoval You can have fun without it being obvious to everyone watching. I'd much prefer to see a drummer locked in to the intricate rhythms, obviously vibing in his own way, rather than someone putting on an act to please the audience visually or some shit.. He has enough work to be doing! idk man I just relate heavily coz whenever I'm locked in while DJing I frown and look a bit angry when I'm actually just focused on what I'm doing, and that's okay. We're here for the sounds, not the facial expressions. Plus, he looks happy enough to me, its not like he looks miserable or something so idk what you're on about 😂

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

[@bloodySunday77]

The first thing that strikes me immediately is, again, the absolutely marvellous sound engineering and mixing skills of the studio engineers at KEXP. This is just album-quality production, as usual. Excellent camera work too. The band sounds very, very interesting as well. The songs sound very distilled, to-the-point, sweet, full of character. I am glad I just found them out. Super easy thumbs up!

lo que más me gusta de esta banda es como en vivo, las versiones de álbum son meramente una referencia; una vaga memoria a la que aluden pero jamás reproducen; juegan con las canciones, las transforman, las destrozan, las usan para darte algo familiar a lo cual aferrarte mientras cierras los ojos y te dejas elevar y te pierdes en el caos, la psicodelia, la voz de Lila, los efectos y por unos ~30 minutos te olvidas del mundo y simplemente disfrutas el momento.

@@McShag420 I definitely agree with you on that one. I've always struggled to distinguish the lyrics but I think that's definitely on purpose

I think the vocal mixes have been off for all the sessions since KEXP opened the studio back up. This isn't the only set where the vocals are too subdued.

[@Yikum24]

Yeah, but it works with how ambient and atmospheric the whole assemble is even tho i'd agree with OP. Maybe they did t want any particular input didnt rise above any other in the energy feel. Loved it tho. What a tight setlist with deliberate flowing segways that seemed to blend song to song but keeping a clear contrast of intonations and special touches within

[@leascaart]

@@McShag420 I think the vocalist doesn't project as much. Her voice is a bit thin, not a trained singer? For instance, watch the Wolf Alice performance, and Ellie can sing. Crumb is still a pretty good band tho.
