Description
Robyn Hitchcock is the follow up to 2014's critically acclaimed The Man Upstairs. The new record was recorded in Nashville, Robyn's new home base in the US, and was produced by Robyn and Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs). This is the first time Robyn has made a full band album in the studio since 2008 and the record features a lot of key players, including Gillian Welch, Emma Swift, Pat Sansone (Wilco, The Autumn Defense), and Grant-Lee Phillips. The psych rock influence is a callback to his days with The Soft Boys and his early solo albums...
Description
Robyn Hitchcock stands among the most energized and ambitious recordings of the iconic troubadour's four-decade career.
The album sees Hitchcock casting familiar shapes into surprising new forms, the sci-fi fueled sounds and visions that first stimulated his work now ribboned with experience and hard-earned wisdom. The album, Hitchcock's 21st studio recording, was recorded in Nashville, TN, with producer Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs) and backing by fellow Music City players that include guitarist Annie McCue, bassist Jon Estes, and drummer Jon Radford. Harmony vocal contributions include Emma Swift, Grant Lee Phillips, Gillian Welch, and Wilco's Pat Sansone.
This 5th anniversary edition is pressed on neon green vinyl.
