Ugly Twin are certainly embracing the seasonal affective disorder here on their latest song, “Crabs are Crustaceans.” Falling somewhere on the spectrum between sludgy grunge and melodic emo, “Crabs” crawls at a dirge pace, giving time and space for both their instrumentals and melancholy lyrics to shine. When they’re not singing in a soft , the gigantic, fuzzy guitar presence is highlighted with a squiggly synth line and a surprisingly pop-minded, four-chord progression that’s pleasant on the ears. Fans of Hum, Weezer, and Sunny Day Real Estate are all going to find lots to love here.
Check out the lyric video for “Crabs’ below – you can also stream the song via Spotify and Apple Music.
