More about: Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

Australia’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are back with something heavier on their new single, ‘Lava Lamp Pisco’. It comes with an animated video from Bristol artist Gina Tratt and the news that they’ll be touring the UK and Europe next year.

‘Lava Lamp Pisco’ sees both a return to their heavier roots and an exploration of new territory for the band, putting the focus on distorted guitars and intricate, electrifying solos with a darker lyrical theme. Combined with the animated video, which is like a psych-rock take on Adventure Time, ‘Lava Lamp Pisco’ is an exciting time for the band.

Frontman Jack McEwan described the new song:

“After Shyga! I wanted to write something a bit heavier, get back to the Sabbath roots and chug on a riff for yonks till it hums like a Novocaine mantra. I wanted it to feel like it was constantly progressing, getting more chaotic with drones, swirling between dissonant layers and get the body jangling with a Tyson hook. 

The lyrics weren't intentionally meant to be dark, I’ve always liked to keep our music upbeat and positive but some days it felt like everything was blurring into one, waiting for life to resume into some sense of normality. But what is normal? Change is good, variety is the spice of life and from these weird times I can truly say I've never been happier. So the Pisco of life continues, building with bulldozers, creating from rubble, chewing on bricks with a toothless optimism. It’s nice to feel rounded.”
