PSYCHEDELIC PORN CRUMPETS SHARE VIDEO FOR "MR. PRISM"

PSYCHEDELIC PORN CRUMPETS SHARE TWISTED FAIRYTALE CLAYMATION VIDEO FOR "MR.PRISM"

Hi-res assets here Following the release of "Mr. Prism" via Marathon Artists earlier this month, their first single of 2020, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets today share an adventure-filled clay animation video for the song. Created by Oliver Jones, who the band have collaborated with previously on their similarly kaleidoscopic videos, the video for "Mr Prism" takes us on a colorful journey through ‘sweetsville’, with some surprisingly dark encounters along the way. Singer Jack McEwan had this to say about this video: “A prismatic man needs a colourful adventure, so when we were throwing ideas back & forth with Ollie (animator) it was hard to pass an edible Claymation. We’ve seen a bunch of his previous work & based a lot of the concept on his original videos, but all of us were in awe when he sent us through the final animation. I’ve never been more stoked with a collaboration of music & video, everything feels synced so perfectly, proper cherry-on-top work! Ollie you legend!” 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. For McEwan, the song 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 sick I’d ever be, I could never turn one down. Mr. Prism (my sickly fun-fuelled fiend of an alter-ego) was born.” Watch the video for "Mr. Prism"

"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, with drums being laid down at Perth’s Tone City Studios, before being mixed by Michael Jelinek and Brian Lucey.  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, including a raucous show at Desert Daze, 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 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
