Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have hit the ground running for 2021, sharing their new single, Pukebox. The track is the latest taste of the bands upcoming studio record, SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound, set to be released next month.
Recorded between songwriter Jack McEwan’s home studio and Tone City Studios in WA, the hectic and relentless Pukebox is another example of the evolution of the bands sound throughout years of writing and touring.
Speaking of the release, McEwan shares: “Pukebox was the first song I used as a reference while creating the flavour for the record. I’d had the idea for the track for a while but I never thought it fit the style of our previous albums. I wrote the first part in first person, talking about my time at home drinking moonshine and wondering who else was doing the same. Then I compared that in the second verse with a secondary version of myself who I wrote about as a character, a little bit lost, waking up with a hangover in random cities trying to find a meaning while it sailed right past me. Both unaware of each other’s existence while slowly going mad through repetitive consumption.”
Pukebox is out now! Listen to the song below. SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound is out February 5th.
