Stepping back into the spotlight for a brand new year, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets hit the ground running with the release of their latest single, ‘Pukebox’.
At just over three minutes, this new slice of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets chaos is the latest installment of the band’s forthcoming new studio record, SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound, due for release February 5th. Hectic and relentless in pure unadulterated Psychedelic Porn Crumpets fashion, ‘Pukebox’ is one ride that fans will want to be on as brighter horizons look promising for 2021.
Recorded between songwriter Jack McEwan’s home studio and Tone City Studios in WA, ‘Pukebox’ is a delicious example of how tight the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets sound has become over their last few years of writing and touring.
Receiving its worldwide premiere on BBC Radio 1 with Annie Mac, ‘Pukebox’ captures the essence of SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound and sits as a great insight into the new era ahead.
“‘Pukebox was the first song I used as a reference while creating the flavour for the record. I’d had the idea for the track for a while but I never thought it fit the style of our previous albums. I wrote the first part in first person, talking about my time at home drinking moonshine and wondering who else was doing the same. Then I compared that in the second verse with a secondary version of myself who I wrote about as a character, a little bit lost, waking up with a hangover in random cities trying to find a meaning while it sailed right past me. Both unaware of each other’s existence while slowly going mad through repetitive consumption.”
Jack McEwan, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
2020 saw Psychedelic Porn Crumpets keep the wheels turning with new music, despite being unable to tour; releasing ‘Mr. Prism’ and ‘Tally-Ho!’ to keep the appetites of fans satiated. With both singles earning acclaim across Australian and international radio stations including Triple J, Radio X and BBC Radio One, as well as right across Spotify, Apple Music and multiple music editorial titles, the hype up for the new album started off strong.
Capping off their year with a blistering spin with Triple J’s Like A Version series, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets reminded folks that although they (like everyone else) was forced to take pause from usual programming in 2020, they weren’t resting on their laurels.

BBC Radio 1, Jack Saunders

“Who needs a roller-coaster when PPC are out here producing the same adrenaline? It’s always such a rush listening to ya’ll.”
Triple J, Bridget Hustwaite
“As Summer 2020 continues to crawl along a flat line of dread and uncertainty, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are back to show that an alter-ego could be the cure for all our pandemic blues.”
