Psychedelic Porn Crumpets announce fourth album with lead track "Tally-Ho"
Australia's Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are back with news of their fourth studio album SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound, and have shared "Tally-Ho" as the lead release.
"Tally-Ho" follows on from the group's August outing "Mr. Prism", which will appear on their forthcoming album alongside last year's "Mundungus" single.
Vocalist Jack McEwan says of the single, ""Tally-Ho" reenacts the classic fable of late night gonzo talks on copious amounts of chemical enthusiasm. I wanted the lyrics to feel sporadic and impulsive, kinda like the conversation you’d have with a mate after a night out; where you just want to debate something, but most of your synapses are already fried, so you’re both blurting out gibberish, but really giving it a good go at sounding formal. A sober third party might assume you’re both morons but between the constant waves of inebriated dialogue you feel like you’ve activated God mode and are only a few online classes away from becoming a favoured politician that will solve all the world’s problems."
SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound will be the band's fourth studio album, following last year's And Now For The Whatchamacallit.
McEwan adds of the LP, "For the first time in a long time I was home without any tours booked, no work, no deadlines and I felt free to create. My writing process became ritualistic; every morning starting with a small walk to the local bottle shop at 11am and writing whatever flowed, allowing myself to design in all styles without boundaries, and not trying to theme the album early on. I haven’t had the luxury of writing this way since the first record, which I spent almost a year working on. It felt like I was myself again, creating without opinion or constraints. I was gliding through weeks with a day seeming to pass."
