Psychedelic Porn Crumpets – SHYGA! The Sunlight Mound (LP Blue/Yellow w/Green Splatter)

A mix of sprawling, exploratory, psych-pop, prog rock, and heavy garage riffs, Australia’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets rose out of Perth’s indie underground, earning a devoted fan base through hard touring and releases like 2016’s High Visceral, Pt. 1 and 2019’s more muscular And Now for the Whatchamacallit. The group’s ARIA-nominated fourth album, Shyga! The Sunlight Mound, appeared in 2021.
Packing 14 tracks into 38 minutes, it’s very much a sprint, the breathlessness part of its impact, despite this intensity, mainman Jack McEwan steers SHYGA!… clear of excess and keeps his ear on melody throughout.
