Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have shared Hymn For A Droid with their new album And Now For The Whatchamacallit out tomorrow.
“This track reminds me of a Rhino at full charge, I was absolutely cranking it while recording,” Jack McEwan says. “Pretty sure my housemates didn’t get a lot of sleep the week this was bring crafted. The lyrics were based on the end of a relationship, those months you’re questioning where your life will end up and if you’re making the right decisions.”
In our review of the album, Live4ever concluded And Now For The Whatchamacallit is ‘proof that the world might just have to start taking the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets a little more…seriously‘:
“You might be thinking quietly however, to yourselves here, whether the world really needed yet another homage to Spinal Tap and if you are, the good news is that the lads have come to much the same conclusion. The revolution in a wise moment of sequencing starts with the next song Hymn For A Droid which begins with a new and different, Chili Peppers-esque urgency before the interstellar overdrive is applied courtesy of crunching riffage delivered with true gusto.”
“From that point on the journey becomes far less predictable, venturing into cod-reggae (proudly weird instrumental Digital Hunger) and the blasted ambience of closer Dezi’s Adventure, while My Friend’s A Liquid takes its sunny, wide-eyed disposition – as the band themselves did at conception – from the bedroom trippiness of Tame Impala.”
