Is údar bróid do ‘Crime & the City Solution’ leagan acústaic trí phíosa den bhanna a fhógairt, faoin ainm Crime & the City Solution (Acoustic) nó Crime (Acoustic) mar ainm gairid. Is ón mbeirt Bonney/Adams, a bhí ar chamchuairt sna SA agus san Eoraip le Mark Langan in 2019, a tháinig an smaoineamh Crime (Acoustic) a bhunú mar go raibh siad ag iarraidh an t-ábhar a sheinm sa stíl inar cruthaíodh go leor de na hamhráin ar dtús, chun taitneamh a bhaint as atmaisféar cairdiúil a léiríonn go bunúsach an sásamh a bhaineann cairde as a bheith ag seinm le chéile do chairde, gan stiúir theicneolaíochta. Páirteach i Crime (Acoustic) tá Bronwyn Adams (veidhlín agus fonnadóireacht), Simon Bonney (fonnadóireacht) agus Joshua Murphy (giotár fuaimiúil agus fonnadóireacht) agus feidhmeoidh siad i dteannta an ghrúpa níos mó leis na huirlísí leictreacha. Canfaidh siad amhráin ón gcatalóg a bhí ag Crime roimhe sin chomh maith le hamhráin roghnaithe as taifeadtaí aonair de chuid Simon.

Crime & the City Solution is proud to announce the launch of a three-piece acoustic version of the band that will be known as Crime & the City Solution (Acoustic) or Crime (Acoustic) for short. Inspired by the Bonney/Adams duo that toured the US and Europe with Mark Lanegan in 2019, Crime (Acoustic) is born of a want to play the material in the style that many of the songs were first born, to enjoy an intimate atmosphere that captures the simple joy of friends playing together for friends, unmediated by technology. Crime (Acoustic) will feature Bronwyn Adams (violin and vocals), Simon Bonney (vocals) and Joshua Murphy (acoustic guitar and vocals) and will operate in addition to the bigger full-electric line-up. It will perform songs from the Crime back catalogue as well as selected songs from Simon’s solo recordings.
