Photo Credit: Matt Puccinelli  As their first move for 2020, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets return with the release of their new single, "Mr. Prism" via Marathon Artists. Bounding along with maximum energy from the onset,"Mr. Prism" is relentless in its approach - a fiery reminder of the type of band Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have grown into over the last few years on the road. "Mr. Prism", full of chaotic builds and irresistible rhythms as it winds through its second half, is wild in its arrangement paired with trademark Psychedelic Porn Crumpets storytelling. The bulk of the songwriting took place at songwriter Jack McEwan’s home in Western Australia and was born out of the feverish haze only illness and a crazy tour schedule can bring: “After our last tour of Europe I had a plethora of reasons to see a doctor. First, he thought I had tonsillitis, so prescribed me penicillin, which didn’t help at all. I did Falls Festival over New Year’s and barely got through - turns out I had pneumonia. I was pushing through on all sorts of meds until someone offered me the HMS Hunter alternative and I realized no matter how I’d ever be, I could never turn one down. Mr. Prism (my sickly fun-fuelled fiend of an alter-ego) was born.” LISTEN TO "MR. PRISM" Since the release of the band’s third studio album And Now For The Whatchamacallit, the Perth group spent the second half of 2019 on tour around the world through the UK and Europe, including a raucous roof-raising show at London’s Electric Ballroom, before returning to Australia for a summer festival run. While pandemic restrictions have kept the band from returning to their natural habitat of the live stage, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are excited to kick down the door on their next chapter in sharing more new music throughout this year, with their fourth studio album on the horizon early next year.

"Mr. Prism" Artwork 2019 was a massive year for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets both at home in Australia and in the international market. A year of sold out shows across North America, UK and Europe, not to mention spots on lucrative festivals including Splendour in the Grass and Desert Daze, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets were well received by thousands. The release of And Now For The Whatchamacallit reaped praise from all corners with support from Triple J, BBC Radio 1 (including as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record and a Maida Vale session for Jack Saunders), NPR, a KEXP Session and noted publications including Q, Classic Rock and DIY have further cemented Psychedelic Porn Crumpets as a long lasting musical presence. With over 7 million Spotify streams and over 120k artist profile followers, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets rounded out 2019 triumphantly. The early stages of 2021 will see Psychedelic Porn Crumpets back on Australian stages, with the band joining Sydney’s Ocean Alley on their national tour, and hopefully it won’t be long until they’re barreling back into the US. Praise for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets: "We still don't know what a porn crumpet is, but we do know what psychedelia is, and that's just what Perth-based psych outfit Psychedelic Porn Crumpets delivers” - NPR All Songs Considered  "This Perth, Australia band’s third album is a fine set of gonzo psych-rock reminiscent of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard ranging from crunchy stoner-rock to dreamy space-rock." - KEXP "Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ latest album is as memorable as their band name. And Now For The Whatchamacallit sees the Australian rockers at their very best and most developed sound, with soaring guitar and experimental arrangements." - Paste Magazine “A band adept at chunky, foot-on-the-monitor rock” - Q “Their third album is a blast from start to finish… enough to refresh the palate of even the most jaded garage-rock" - Classic Rock “With jubilant tie-dye riffs and squiggly guitar lines around every corner, And Now For The Whatchamacallit is every bit the celebratory psych-rock album it strives to be.” - DIY “‘And Now For The Whatchamacallit’ shifts the band away from the shadow of Tame Impala and Unknown Mortal Orchestra into something far more particular and intricate, but just as entertaining – an exuberant, hair-flailing stew of prog, psychedelic rock, glam, speed metal, math rock and doom boogie.” - Metro “Dense, spiralling guitar tapestries and complex rifferama… Tame Impala and King Gizzard fans could love tossing these Crumpets on their barbie.” - Prog “A truly unique live proposition, their other-worldly psychedelia is melded into some startling shapes on ‘And Now For The Whatchamacallit’” - Clash Official Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube
