Australia’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets today share their new single “Acid Dent”, lifted from their fifth studio album Night Gnomes, due for release this Friday 22nd April via Marathon Artists. A masterclass into how Psychedelic Porn Crumpets can have a kaleidoscope of influences and sonic ideas at their disposal, yet never lose sense of their core sound and identity, “Acid Dent” spotlights guitars and fuzz with flair, while the rhythms buoy Jack McEwan’s hypnotic vocals seamlessly.
A pure avenue for escapism, “Acid Dent” leans into the effects of psychedelics, as McEwan takes listeners on a trip of his own: “My goodwill 'Drugs are bad for you kids' song. And to be perfectly honest they probably are. But good luck telling that to the youth of today I tell ya! It's not like that safe ‘60s pot we used to smoke. Not like the prescribed methamphetamine us ‘50s housewives were doing! Not like that Cretic Wine us Romans would devour.
Every generation has their means of escapism and for some reason here in Perth, or at least when we were in our heyday you could purchase mushrooms and acid from any decent supermarket. So it's inevitable we're gonna be munching jumpers and chatting to fences in a few decades, but as for now, well... we've seemed to somehow milk a career out of it. Who'd have thought. But yeah, it's probably not going to end well, hence my newly appointed position on drug safety. Then again, someone also once told me, "Hell hath no fury like a man who's pressed pause on his drug abuse", so now I'm slightly more perplexed as to where I stand. Anyway, good luck to everyone, enjoy yourselves but remember nobody wants to pick up your marbles after.”
For the “Acid Dent” music video, the band reunited with director and artist Ollie Jones - the creative genius behind the claymation music videos fans will remember from Psychedelic Porn Crumpets previous endeavors. This time around, the action takes place at ‘PPC Chemicals’, with hijinx ensuing in classic Psychedelic Porn Crumpets style.
Of making the video, Jones shares: “I’ve always been a fan of the horror sub genre ‘ MELT MOVIES ‘ films like Street Trash, The Blob and Body Melt. So when I was given the title of the track, I knew what I wanted to do right away. A simple story of a guy who after a freak accident is granted the powers to melt everything he touches and how it escalates in a comedy of errors throughout the video. Think the Skittles advert only more gruesome.”
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets will be touring the new album, Night Gnomes this fall see below for full list of dates. Out Friday, McEwan describes the band’s fifth album as “a summary of everything we’ve previously released, a nice package for new fans to enjoy but also a nod to the ‘High Visceral’ days for the older fans.”
The band have already given fans a taste of what to expect from the forthcoming album with the tracks “Bubblegum Infinity,” “Dread & Butter,” “Lava Lamp Pisco” and most recently, “Bob Holiday” - a grimy, rustic track that pays homage to classic riffs McEwan remembers from his youth, like Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way.”
