The band will also be releasing a new record this summer with their debut album, Jinx. Singles such as “Nina” and “Part III” show that Crumb is leaning into a fuller, dreamier sound. Their set mostly consisted of new songs, which are more focused and concise than their previous two EPs. They sculpted a soundscape with jazzy drums, watery chorus guitars, and - their secret weapon - a keyboardist who jumped between his keys and a saxophone. The band focused more on inviting the audience into a headspace rather than oh, say, rock band theatrics. The lights dimmed for their set, soon enveloping the hall in their sound. Their onstage enthusiasm at this hometown show felt like seeing a long-time friend for the first time all year.ĭivino Niño moved our bodies with slick love songs and then Crumb took our heads to outer space. They were accompanied on stage by Chicago multi-instrumentalists Justin Vitorri ( Knox Fortune, Grapetooth) and Luke Henry (Luke Henry, L. Influenced by the songwriting of the Beatles, Latin music, and the sheen production of the late ‘70s Japanese genre “city pop,” Divino Niño also finds inspiration in the Chicago music community.
They captivated the crowd to sway along to their breezy tunes, performing “Maria,” and the sleeker, sexier song, “Foam,” both of which will be on their upcoming album release, Foam, out this summer on June 21st. But this time, as bassist and songwriter Javi Forero said before the show, they worked out all their kinks on tour. The band just returned from touring with Durand Jones, having just performed at Thalia Hall last month.
CRUMB BAND FULL
Not every day do you hear a band that can pull off full harmonies while sprinkling in auxiliary instruments like claves or a lap slide guitar, but Divino Niño executed it perfectly with its six-person ensemble, opening for Crumb at Thalia Hall in Chicago last Thursday.
