Another gloriously chaotic chapter in Perth's Psychedelic Porn Crumpets' relentless journey through the mind of frontman and band lynchpin Jack McEwan. As the five-piece continues to thrive on a steady stream of eccentric, genre-blending rock, bearing hallmarks of prog, psych and metal but never slavishly adhering to any of them, their seventh album promises to add more fire to their reputation. The first fruit to be shared from it, 'Weird World Awoke', is a fast-paced, ferocious blast of frenetic guitar, one that spins and stutters in equal measure. The rest bears the usual witty lyrical offering, McEwan describing the creative process as "a mongrel of sorts", with subjects ranigng from Greek philosophy to dog bites, the singer being rather an expert after a recent high profile London date was cancelled due to a particularly nasty canine attack. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are here to keep us all guessing and unpredictability goes, their brand is thrilling.
