PSYCHEDELIC PORN CRUMPETS
Night Gnomes MARATHON ARTISTS
Australian space cadets are back with their best album yet.
I
t would be erroneous to
think that a work rate of
five albums in six years
would suggest an easing off
of the quality control pedal
on the part of Psychedelic
Porn Crumpets. Indeed,
much like the third-eye
experience that informs
their name, the western
Australian quintet process an incredible
amount of information and influences
that have included space rock, punk,
prog and yes, psychedelia, to create
a dense and frequently intense yet
pleasurable experience. But while
there’s no change on that score, Night
Gnomes proves to be their most
cohesive and finest statement to date.
