Psychedelic Porn Crumpets share raucous new track "The Terrors"

13 November 2020, 12:28 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have returned with new track "The Terrors", the fourth single to be shared from their SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound album.

"The Terrors" lands after previous releases "Tally-Ho", "Mr. Prism" and "Mundungus".

Songwriter Jack McEwan says "The Terrors" is "The term given to the cocktail of dejected emotions that usually occur between Sunday night and Tuesday morning as an unwanted side effect following a long and debaucherous weekend. What goes up eventually plummets into mere oblivion, infinity to death."

McEwan continues, "I wanted to write a track that paid homage to where Porn Crumpets began, back in our drug-ridden cave of a share house at Hector Street. There was a solid group of us on centrelink, either studying or pretending to work, waiting for our paycheck to arrive so we could pickle the membrane and substitute reality for a while, very much in the name of science. The classic Australian coming of age saga. I wanted the song to surge maniacally and feel like a chaotic adventure that viscously bulldozes it's way through to the listener. High intensity, good gremlins, thanks for coming. The more I penned the more I realised I was still waking up like my twenty-year-old prototype."

He adds, "It felt like most of last year on tour we'd repeatedly wake up in a state of groundhog day, tired limbs and weary souls maintaining extroverted livers for months on end, it was all self inflicted so there's nobody to blame but ourselves. It was the commitment to routine I was more impressed with, how easily mayhem flows, shapes, contorts, it slowly becomes warming, like a shit friend you keep choosing to hang out with cause they're reliable, accompanied with a daily migraine you enjoy for nostalgic purposes, my slither of homely consistencies. Wow I went dark! Probably why it needed an uplifting chorus, something climactic, a burst of endorphins that all good trips encounter, a smiling glimmer of hope reminding us all "everything will be ok"."

SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound will be the band's fourth studio album, following last year's And Now For The Whatchamacallit.

"The Terrors" is out now. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets' SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound will arrive 5 February 2021 via Marathon Artists, and is available to pre-order now.
