PSYCHEDELIC PORN CRUMPETS
Share brand new single ‘Mundungus’
on tour across the UK this month
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets today share their huge new single ‘Mundungus’, our first taste of new music from the band since the release of their acclaimed new album And Now For The Whatchamacallit earlier this year.
‘Mundungus’, an archaic term for foul-smelling tobacco (or, for eagle-eyed Harry Potter fans, the name of Order of the Phoenix member and conman, Mundungus Fletcher), is a confident and fleshed out offering from the band, who have truly taken 2019 by the horns. Receiving its worldwide premiere on BBC Radio 1 with Annie Mac last night, ‘Mundungus’ is fiery and captures the spirit of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets in full technicolour glory.
About the track, frontman Jack says “Mundungus
is the rare post tour recovery period where all our surrounding friends and family assume we’re crippled with alcoholism, burdened with lives of social estrangement and are far too disillusioned to foresee our self destructive tendencies”.
Following the rave reviews and sold out shows of their 27 date North American tour, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are set to kick off their UK/EU tour this month, taking in 19 dates including London’s Electric Ballroom, which will be their biggest UK show to date. The band popped to the UK over the summer to play some shows in support of Royal Blood, but this tour marks the band’s first run of headline shows since the release of their new album, so promises to be a truly riotous occasion. Their gigs in Manchester, Birmingham, Cambridge and Edinburgh have already sold out, with more shows well on their way to follow suit. Full list of live dates below, tickets are available from http://www.psychedelicporncrumpets.com/tickets.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ third studio album
And Now For The Whatchamacallit
is out now via Marathon Artists and is a culmination of experiences lived
on the road and influences stemming from the last few years of chaos for the band.

Hailing from the same Aussie homeland as psych-rock contemporaries Tame Impala, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and POND, the release of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ And Now For The Whatchamacallit marks an exciting chapter for the band that sets them apart from the crowd. Recorded between Jack McEwan’s bedroom and Tone City Studios in Perth, mixed by Michael Jelinek (Gunns) and mastered by John Davis (Gorillaz, The Killers), And Now For The Whatchamacallit is representative of the band’s huge developed sound and even loftier ambitions.

Praise for And Now For The Whatchamacallit
“‘And
Now For The Whatchamacallit’ shifts the band away from the shadow of Tame Impala and Unknown Mortal Orchestra into something far more particular and intricate, but just as entertaining – an exuberant, hair-flailing stew of prog, psychedelic rock, glam, speed
metal, math rock and doom boogie.” –
Metro
“A band adept at chunky, foot-on-the-monitor
rock”
–
Q
“Their third album is a blast from start to finish… enough to refresh the palate
of even the most jaded garage-rock fan” – Classic
Rock
“A truly unique live proposition, their other-worldly psychedelia
is melded into some startling shapes on ‘And Now For The Whatchamacallit” –
Clash
