As the post-punk black hole shows no sign of collapsing in on itself, a new hope glints on the guitar band horizon. Crumb (comprised of ex-members of Dublin bands Mexican Pets, The Sewing Room and Hey Paulette) fit their own musical stencil around some of the best bygone bands of the last two decades. Thanks to the gorgeous jangly twang of Derrick Dalton's Rickenbacker, The Go-Betweens, The Blue Aeroplanes and a touch of early REM (when they were good) segue in. American bands such as The Feelies and The Replacements, exponents of melodic guitars and small town lyricism, are obvious references. Lights of the City is supremely hummable, while Wrecked Or is the soundtrack to latenight melancholy. With this guitar pop tour de force, Crumb may have just started the post Rickenbacker revival.
