There are times when an album鈥檚 title can be literal. This is very much the case with
Crumb鈥檚 second album 鈥業ce Melt鈥. Throughout its 10 tracks 鈥業ce Melt鈥 has a languid quality to the music. It鈥檚 like watching ice cubes melt on a table in the sun. You can see the puddle of water getting bigger, yet the cube appears to stay the same shape. As the songs progress, they appear to keep their form, but at the end you get the impression that sections disappeared along the way and what we are left with isn鈥檛 what we start with. This is down to Crumb鈥檚 line up and their ability to diaphanous soundscapes that bring in jazz, hip-hop, shoegaze swoons, electronica, and pop motifs.
