Psychedelic Porn Crumpets continue to steamroll through 2019, releasing the visuals for their new single ‘Bill’s Mandolin’, as they approach a massive few months of touring through Australia, the UK and Europe. Offering fans another insight into the kaleidoscopic mind of songwriter Jack McEwan, the release of ‘Bill’s Mandolin’ marked a strong new chapter for the band; the new music video further solidifies their status as one of Australia’s most exciting and ambitious rock groups out.
Taken from their forthcoming third studio album, And Now For The Whatchamacallit (out May 31st through Caroline Australia/Marathon Artists), ‘Bill’s Mandolin’ was inspired by a mandolin that belonged to McEwan’s grandad, Bill. An heirloom that became very much a part of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets last UK/European run, as it travelled with the band in making its journey back to Australia.
“I carried it through plenty of customs, slept with it, took it out to pubs, navigated the streets of Amsterdam and passed out with it. It became the tour emblem and once I got back to Perth I felt like I’d done the old girl justice. I wanted to write an ode to Bill and the travels with the mandolin that summed up the tour and sounded as chaotic as the adventures that ensued.“ – Jack McEwan, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
