The arrival of new Psychedelic Porn Crumpets music always lands with a crash; a cacophony of sounds wrapped up in the weirdly wonderful brand of vibrancy only the WA group can harness.
Here, the band presents their latest collection of warped and vibrant ideas – their fifth studio album, NIGHT GNOMES. Following on from 2021’s acclaimed record SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound, this record sees Psychedelic Porn Crumpets explore more sonic influences and creative tangents than before. Stemming from the curious brain of songwriter Jack McEwan, the album flourishes upon a foundation of beloved psych and classic rock influences; while threads of contemporary and exciting sounds add elevation to the core Psychedelic Porn Crumpets sound.
The release of Night Gnomes coincides with the band’s long awaited return to touring. First heading back across the country with a 6 date Australian tour, then to North America and Canada for a 22 date headline tour, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets will also be performing at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Festival alongside the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Green Day, Death Cab For Cutie, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and more. Followed by a return to Europe and the UK in August, for another 22 date headline run that will have them on tour through into September.

For fans, it will be the perfect opportunity to hear both Night Gnomes and SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound in their live forms, both albums ready and raring to go. The release of SHYGA! propelled Psychedelic Porn Crumpets to the #4 spot on the ARIA Album Chart, as well as #2 on the ARIA Vinyl Chart and the lucrative #1 spot on the AIR Album Chart. International and domestic streaming successes aside, the album further positioned Psychedelic Porn Crumpets as a household name and one a growing global fan base was frothing for.
It’s time to bring Night Gnomes to life.
