Is this the year of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets? 2 Albums? 5 Global Tours? The band relentless in their pursuit of glory. After the release of ‘Carpe Diem, Moonman’, the band’s 7th studio album, back in May & following multiple tours, the Crumpets have just surprise announced album number 8 & another tour of Australia in 2026.
The fully-independent 5-piece, led by Jack McEwan have dropped 2 new tunes from the forthcoming record ‘POGO RODEO’. Both ‘Salsa Verde’ & ‘Manny’s Ready To Roll’ have that high octane rock & roll the band are increasingly getting known for.
“There’s so many new instruments and vocal effects on Pogo Rodeo. Because I broke my elbow I was down to one arm, I could only really play synth and I’ve never laid keys down on anything” says McEwan. “I had an Omnichord lying around so I plugged that in for the first time and this fresh feeling came over me like I should have had years ago… NOT EVERY SONG NEEDS TO BE SO COMPLICATED! With one hand I was writing chord progressions, slowly they were forming into songs, even slower they were being recorded. I got Chris to lay down some guitars to build a better foundation of where the songs should head and then when I could hold a pick again I finished everything off with a sitar, a 12 string, an acoustic and fat dabs of electric. I think the fans will love it”.
The new record is available on limited edition vinyl in multiple colourways through the bands official stores – https://psychedelicporncrumpets.com
