Album Review
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - And Now For The Whatchamacallit
4 StarsEvery bit the celebratory psych-rock album it strives to be.
“I was too young to see Tame Impala and that innovative psych scene, but that sound’s still around. It’s like Perth’s gold nugget.” say Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, and they’re not lying - the city’s latest day-trippers sound positively fuzzed-out on their third album.
‘Bill’s Mandolin’ is named after an instrument given to singer Jack McEwan by his Grandfather (which became a tour emblem after the band took it on tour around Europe), and it’s given a fitting tribute as lead single. The track gallops much in the same fashion as the aforementioned Kevin Parker vessel’s own ‘Elephant’. ‘When In Rome’, meanwhile, features sexy, distorted riffs a la Queens of the Stone Age, while the delirious refrains of ’Social Candy’ provide bursts of elation on an album that’s already got it’s head in the clouds.
With jubilant tie-dye riffs and squiggly guitar lines around every corner, ‘And Now For The Whatchamacallit’ is every bit the celebratory psych-rock album it strives to be.

Despite the album featuring several enjoyable moments, the listener is left feeling that it’s somewhat rambling and unfocused.
