Perth’s finest, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, continue their onslaught in 2025 with the release of a brand new single & announcing details of their seventh record, due in May. Carpe Diem, Moonman promises to be another weird & wonderful journey through the mind of Jack McEwan, the talisman of the Perth 5-piece.
It’s announced alongside brand-new single ‘Weird World Awoke’, another ferocious blast of inimitable rock & roll, with a lyrical rollercoaster to keep pace with the relentless tempo and guitar slaloms. McEwan himself had this to say about the new record, “Carpe Diem, Moonman is an entanglement of chaos, the bi-product of excessive touring, an explosion of doubt, wonder, excitement, dog bites, Greek philosophy, death, weekend benders and a partridge in a pear tree, a mongrel of sorts. There’s so many genres, flavours, cream crackers and fairground amusements packed into CDM. It blasts out the gates, takes you for a spin then leads you off into somewhere beautiful, fun and enthralling. I want people to come back and find something new with each listen.”
Available on limited edition vinyl in multiple colourways, the album is available to pre-order from the band’s webstores now.
Speaking about the new single ‘Weird World Awoke’, McEwan had this to say “It’s all getting a bit strange ain’t it? Or are we just older now and it’s always been like this? Will it get better? Music alike is a delusional puzzle, a craft of nonsense to most, but every now and again you hear a tune that keeps you ticking. This….is not even close but it’s different. And that’s good, for some.”
The release of Carpe Diem, Moonman follows on from Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ 2023 album, Fronzoli, an impassioned and chaotic release that re-established the band as one of the best to come out of the West Coast.
With over 200 million streams across DSPs, the ARIA Award nominated group is an international favourite as well as a beloved live act at home, presenting their hectic shows at events like Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival, Laneway Festival, Desert Daze, The Great Escape, SXSW, BIGSOUND and All Points East; while sharing stages with Interpol, Royal Blood, Nothing But Thieves & more.
With the release of Carpe Diem, Moonman set to bring Psychedelic Porn Crumpets back to radars in a big way, the band has announced their first set of global tour dates for the year, including national Australian tour dates, currently underway and continuing into April.
These 45 initial tour dates through Australia, the United States, UK and Europe is just the beginning; another 80 shows are already in the diary and will be announced soon. Full tour and tickets can be found at psychedelicporncrumpets.com.
