Psychedelic Porn Crumpets announce new album with lead single "Bill's Mandolin"

"Bill's Mandolin" is the latest single to be shared from the record, after "Keen for Kick Ons?", "Social Candy", and "My Friend's a Liquid".

Speaking about the single, frontman Jack McEwan says, "When we were in the UK on our last tour I was given my Grandad’s old mandolin/lute thing which I remember playing as a kid. It was such a nice gift that I had to take back to Australia, the only problem was it didn’t have a case and we had an entire tour in front of us which spanned most of Western Europe plus Australia. I carried it through plenty of customs, slept with it, took it out to pubs, navigated the streets of Amsterdam and passed out with it. It became the tour emblem and once I got back to Perth I felt like I’d done the old girl justice. I wanted to write an Ode to Bill and the travels with the mandolin that summed up the tour and sounded as chaotic as the adventures that ensued."

And Now For The Whatchamacallit is the thid album from the Australian group, after 2017's High Visceral, Pt. 2.

On the inspiration behind their new album, the group offers, "The original concept was to take a 1930’s carnival that had been re-imagined for future generations, a collage of Punch and Judy, carousels and coconut shy’s that progresses in musical concepts and travels with the listener. Then as we started traveling I was swept off into my own kind of circus, the odyssey of touring life. Large nights out, larger characters, drunken recollections of foreign cities and rabbit hole-ing into insanity (kindly illustrated by Quentin Blake)."
