Perth’s prominent experimental quintet – Psychedelic Porn Crumpets – have quickly become one of Australia’s hottest prospects, uncovering all kinds of weirdness and psychotic fuzz in their deceptively concise and punchy sonic warfare. Today they announce their monolithic new album, SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound, set for release February 5, 2021. Despite much of this year’s tour plans being put on pause, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have used their time off-road to continue preparing themselves for the release of their fourth studio release, and an eventual blistering return to stages around the world with a heavy-hitter of an album primed for the live space.
From SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets share a new effervescent taste of music in their new single, “Tally-Ho” (below). The track revels in creative hedonism, written to engage the senses and make your ears tingle with excitement. “I wanted something that could encapsulate loads of fun and sound a bit strange,” explains founding singer/guitar Jack McEwan, who was awarded first place in Music Radar’s top ten list of the best new guitar players in the world right now. “Like painting a colourful image of this distant world.”
In just a few years Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have quickly amassed a dedicated fanbase spanning genres and generations. 2019 saw sold-out shows across North America, UK, Europe and Australia; not to mention spots on Desert Daze and Splendour in the Grass. Shyga! The Sunlight Mound carries on and seeds the band as one of today’s hardest working acts and artists you need to watch out for. The career-defining record’s pulsating charge and expert riffs build and build until its final moments.
