“‘The Bug’ is a song that has existed in our universe since early Crumb days, pre-Jinx era. The origins go back to a motel in Nebraska on one of our earliest tours when I woke up with a bunch of bed bug bites," says Crumb’s Lila Ramani. "Wired and unable to sleep, I wandered around the motel singing what would become the outro to the song. Years later when we were finally recording it, it took on a more tender meaning…the bug doesn’t have to be an insect - the bug can be a friend, a lover, or that nagging feeling that finds you late at night”.

In 2023, Crumb released their single “Le Temple Volant” with Melody’s Echo Chamber. AMAMA follows a cohesive line back through breakout EPs self-titled Crumb and Locket, and subsequent albums – 2019’s Jinx, and 2021’s Ice Melt.
