New music from Psychedelic Porn Crumpets is here, baby. The WA group have released their fifth album, perfectly titled Night Gnomes – it’s a wild romp from the band who brought us SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound only last year. That’s right. The dust has barely settled on their last stacked collection of material by for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, the work never stops. The band is heading out on tour this June and July but in the meantime, sink your teeth into this break down of Night Gnomes, direct from Psychedelic Porn Crumpets songwriter Jack McEwan.
1. Terminus, The Creator
From the get-go, I wanted Night Gnomes to be strung to the teeth with hybrid flavours, a conglomerate of perception that twitches your auditory reflex. So, song one had to rectify that and carry the listener from whatever emotion they were on before, lose all that and blissfully disconnect them into this record. An unrecognisable barrage of glitching melody felt a good point to start.
The beginning of ‘Terminus’ was originally a longer track intended to be the intro for a song we were working on for Shyga! Myself and Rish were sending over files to each other, building upon the layers of noise the previous person had created until it reached the pulsating defected sandwich it is now. I liked the idea of something that was scrapped/dead having a new beginning, hence where the name comes from. The section that follows draws inspiration from that same passage, ending an older relationship with a new beacon of light on the horizon, staring at an unpredictable future but feeling confident that’s where I needed to head.
