Australian prog psych outfit the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets stream brand new single Hymn For A Droid. You can hear the whole single below. The single is taken from the band's forthcoming new album And Now For The Whatchamacallit, which is released this Friday on Marathon Artists.
“The original concept was to take a 1930’s carnival that had been re-imagined for future generations, a collage of Punch and Judy, carousels and coconut shy’s that progresses in musical concepts and travels with the listener," singer Jack McEwan tells Prog. "Then as we started traveling I was swept off into my own kind of circus, the odyssey of touring life. Large nights out, larger characters, drunken recollections of foreign cities and rabbit hole-ing into insanity (kindly illustrated by Quentin Blake)."
