The Cribs return today with the announcement of their first new album in over five years. Selling A Vibe will be released on 9th January 2026. Also revealed today is the album's lead single, 'Summer Seizures', which received its radio airplay debut from Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music.
For the three Jarman brothers, The Cribs has always been a heart-on-sleeve endeavour, documenting a realness and honesty, imbued with a raw spirit and a love for pop melodies, that winks with a healthy skepticism at a world increasingly weighed down by quantity over quality, style over substance. You need only look as far as the new album title for evidence of that. It can be argued though that with Selling A Vibe, that honesty is increasingly turned in the direction of each other, the first time they have so openly done so on one of their records.
