The title of the new release remains a mystery. The single follows up the Jarman brothers album from 2020 “Night Network“. The album, an eighth since the band formed in 2001 could not be done at all. The band went through 18 months of legal battles over the rights to their back catalogue. Even though the release came out after a difficult time for the cribs, “they sound just as energised here as they did in their ‘Men’s Needs’ heyday“. The album received great reviews with Indiependent calls it “the sound of a passionate group back on their feet after a long period of uncertainty and ready to shut their detractors up as ever“.
NME gave it 5 stars and calls it The Cribs’ “best album in a decade“. Adding: “‘Night Network’ isn’t the sound of a run-down band staggering towards the finish line. Far from it – The Cribs have just embarked on a victory lap“.
Mxdwn praised the album saying that it “present fans with an extremely fun, peppy and punk-informed record capable of putting anyone in a great mood. The trio of brothers have stepped up, and let their brightest musicality shine in every drum fill, high gain guitar lick and mesmerizingly catchy vocal line“.
With today’s single release, The Cribs has promised more news alongside.
