"I was too young to see Tame Impala and that innovative psych scene, but that sound's still around. It's like Perth's gold nugget." say Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, and they're not lying - the city's latest day-trippers sound positively fuzzed-out on their third album. 'Bill's Mandolin' is named after an instrument given to singer Jack McEwan by his Grandfather (which became a tour emblem after the band took it on tour around Europe), and it's given a fitting tribute as lead single.
Go ahead and read that name… Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. Respond as needed, then set it to the side for about 33 minutes. Do likewise with And Now for the Whatchamacallit, a blandly ambiguous title likely stemming from some inside joke shared by its four creators. Behind this veil of overt psych nuttiness lies a rather impressive album made with plenty of craft and attention to detail.
