Psychedelic Porn Crumpets: High Visceral (Part One) 2016 + (Part Two) 2017

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets is an Australian psychedelic rock band formed in 2014 in Perth. The

band are made up of English guitarist and singer Jack McEwan, guitarist Luke Parish, drummer Danny Caddy, bassist Wayan Billondana, and keyboardist Chris Young, who began playing together in "an old horse barn in Leederville".
                      

Their genre and sound has been compared to that of other popular psychedelic rock bands in Australia,

such as King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and Tame Impala. They have self-described their sound as "an energetic mess of colour and tone".[4] Concerning the reasoning behind the name of the band, its members have given little explanation. The band claims it was chosen at random because they thought it was amusing.
                 

A mix of sprawling, exploratory psych-pop, prog-rock, and heavy garage riffs, Australia's Psychedelic

Porn Crumpets rose out of Perth's indie underground, earning a devoted fan base through hard touring and releases like 2016's High Visceral, Pt. 1 and 2019's more muscular And Now for the Whatchamacallit. The group's ARIA-nominated fourth album, Shyga! The Sunlight Mound, appeared in 2021, followed quickly by Night Gnomes a year later.
                 

The bandmates were friends prior to the creation of the band. It has been suggested that they became

acquainted through their mutual drug dealer. The band began initially as a university project for a unit that Jack McEwan was taking at the time. The band went on in 2017 to create their own record label, What Reality? Records. They have made clear that they chose to do this for reasons of "getting stuck into existence, taking a risk, pursuing ideas, setting goals and trying to dream big." The first release on this new label was a twin reissue of both parts of their High Visceral albums.
                 

They develope musical conversations that were honed into 2016's High Visceral, Pt. 1. A sequel, High

Visceral, Pt. 2, appeared a year later and doubled down on the group's fusion of bluesy riffs and experimental yet melodic guitar rock. With their profile increased thanks to international touring, the Crumpets took a harder-edged approach on their 2019 outing, And Now for the Whatchamacallit, an album that also featured some of their most intricately structured psych-pop to date.
                    

After logging another major Australian tour, the band focused their studio efforts to create 2021's

similarly inventive Shyga! The Sunlight Mound, which earned an ARIA Award nomination for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album. Heralded by the explosive Black Sabbath-like riffs of lead single "Lava Lamp Pisco," the prolific Crumpets offered up their fifth album, Night Gnomes, in April 2022.
