When I saw the band name Crumbs, I immediately thought I was going to be listening to Crumb, whose "AMAMA" was just reviewed by Pitchfork.

Instead, I got this gem of power punk/pop from Leeds, England. I can't help but think of early Blondie right away. The urgency and rhythm of the music also recalls Joe Jackson. There is obviously a late 70s/early 80s feel to this. But there is also a soulfulness reminiscent of current bands like Sheer Mag.

Skep Wax just released this late last week. This label is responsible for newer releases from The Orchids and Special Friend.

1/22/24.

I rarely post about a single song. But this morning, I listened to this unbelievably beautiful song from Glasgow band The Orchids. The band, around since the mid 1980s.

This song has an undeniable Flaming Lips sound. The Orchids however, typically are mentioned as a Sarah Records band. They released a new LP in 2022 on Skep Wax.

Coming out of the Scottish scene, they couldn't have helped but be influenced by Orange Juice and Josef K. But I also hear The Chills, Momus and The Wake.

"Placa San Sebastian" was on a 7" from 2011. They also have two Peel sessions on Precious Recordings.
