Psychedelic Porn Crumpets Hit The Top Of Their Game With New Album, ‘Night Gnomes’
Australian favourites, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have just unleashed their 5th studio album, Night Gnomes. It also comes with the announcement of an Australian tour which will see them stop over in Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Night Gnomes is 11 tracks of sounds that extend beyond the traditional vibe we’ve come to know from PPC. Featuring the singles, Bubblegum Infinity, Lava Lamp Pisco, Acid Dent and Dread & Butter, this album sees the band enter some new sonic territories. Written in WA during another year of lockdown, it showcases main songwriter, Jack Mckewan’s ability to jump out of his comfort zone and put together an epic piece of work.
“Night Gnomes is a bit darker than the other four releases. I don’t know if that’s the bi-product of being locked inside Western Australia for the past two years but it’s definitely given us a lot of time to think. I reckon this record has a bit more of a KID A/Amnesiac vibe to it, it’s a bit weirder, a little left of the ‘psych/pop’ world we’ve been tagged under. I kinda like that though, forever expanding, variety is the spice of life! It starts moody, talks of break ups and new relationships; gets kinda chirpy in the middle and then ends really beautifully, a bit like Jurassic Park 3. I reckon Spielberg might actually rate it, he’s a mixture of a bag, ain’t he.
All in all I’m very proud of everyone’s efforts, it’s a step up which is a good direction to be stepping and it’s a good body of work that I’m happy to share with the world, our little patch of darkness. And if deeper isn’t your cup of moonshine, then at least you know the sixth album will be upbeat as F@!#.” – JACK McEWAN, PSYCHEDELIC PORN CRUMPETS
For Night Gnomes, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets recorded at both McEwan’s house and at Perth’s Blackbird Studios with Dave Parkin (Tired Lion, Jebediah). The band also worked with engineers Michael Jelinekand Brian Lucey on mixing and mastering, fine-tuning that essential Psychedelic Porn Crumpets sound can still be felt right throughout the album.
Night Gnomes certainly sees Psychedelic Porn Crumpets at the top of their game, the album is available now, everywhere.
