Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have announced their fifth studio album Night Gnomes, due for release on 22nd April 2022 via Marathon Artists/What Reality? Records.
To celebrate the band have shared two new singles, Bubblegum Infinity and Dread And Butter.
“Our cute little playful member of the Night Gnomes club. I think there’s mixed opinions of this song in the group but I’m sticking by it,” says songwriter Jack McEwan of Bubblegum Infinity. “I like its pop sensibility and melancholy notions. It’s cheerful and good natured, it’s not trying to be something profound, more a statement of life at this time and by calling it Bubblegum Infinity, we’re showcasing that lighthearted vulnerability. So go easy on us, metal fans.
“A lot of the album is about trying to work out what the F#@! is going on, in general life and obviously the period of time we’ve all found ourselves dormant in for the past two years. I started reading a few quotes from philosophers because, hey! They might know what’s going on, but mostly it was a bunch of cleverly worded gibberish that was drenched in self turmoil that thankfully, serendipitously, unbeknownst to me was the thing I found comfort in. That nobody has a clue what life is and we’re all winging it as we go! Cheers, William of Ockham.”
