Just The Crust 02/03/26: Dreaming Of Citra – Never Looked At Me That Way 🌙

2nd Mar 20262nd Mar 2026artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Never Looked At Me That Way” from Dreaming of Citra! 🎶

we’ve covered these guys’ previous singles and we love their indie-rock/dream-pop esque style, with luscious melodies throughout their music and infectious hooks, and they’ve been gigging across Manchester a bunch, with a headline show next at YES in June! 👊

this new single sounds fantastic, with a lovely atmospheric sound right from the get-go, with driving rhythm forming the foundation of the track, allowing for the guitar riff to soar expertly above it, and the main vocal takes command, ensuring the listener is hanging on every word, and it’s a real personal yet adeptly written track, with raw emotion in every lyric but also maintaining a singalong chorus. we especially love the middle eight build into the final chorus, a real slow build that works exceptionally – it’s a fantastic listen! 🌙

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/70mECkV2BNmk1WpkYQVLs5 – well worth checking out along with the rest of their tunes 🎧

Just The Crust 16/02/26: Motel Sundown – Watch Which Way The Wind Blows 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single from Motel Sundown “Watch Which Way The Wind Blows“! 💫

we’ve covered Motel Sundown’s tracks a bunch in the past and we’re always blown away by their talent, their ability to create a gorgeous atmosphere in their music and how they’re able to write intricate and interesting melodies and lyrics 🎶

the Liverpool-based trio have returned with this new single, and it sounds absolutely incredible – opening with a gorgeous guitar melody that is perfectly complimented by the violinwork, and giving plenty of room for the main vocal to shine. the track feels dreamy and flows effortlessly, and the rhythm is soft yet brings a real sense of groove to the song – and as always, gorgeous vocal harmonies; and luscious lead riffs from the guitar and violin which really give an upbeat lift to the middle section. yet another incredible track under their belts 🌙

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a full live video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6GAWnb9lW0 – well worth checking out 🎧
