The stirring “Ellipses” is the latest from Love Crumbs, also catching our ears with the track “Cavalcades” in January. The Massachusetts-based group expertly blend Americana, folk, and rock alongside a powerful vocal lead, evident in “Ellipses” especially upon the one-minute turn. This bridge, with rousing percussive stomps and culminating vocal twang, grows melodically and with spirited vigor. A touch of piano around 02:20 adds lovely form to the open-road verses — “14 years on the interstate,” — before one final go-around from the captivating bridge and chorus. “Ellipses” is another winner from Love Crumbs.
Per the band: “The track is about trying to connect with someone and not being able to despite the best of intentions. It’s about the things that aren’t said or are left unsaid.”
