- Robyn Hitchcock -
'Hitchcock mirrors his influences with thoughtful enthusiasm while throwing his characteristic sardonic humour into the mix'. - Pitchfork
With a career now spanning six decades, Robyn Hitchcock remains a truly one-of-a-kind artist–surrealist rock ‘n’ roller, iconic troubadour, guitarist, poet, painter, and performer. An unparalleled, deeply individualistic songwriter and stylist, Hitchcock has traversed many genres with humour, intelligence and originality over 30 albums and seemingly infinite live performances.
From The Soft Boys’ proto-psych-punk and The Egyptians’ Dadaist pop to solo masterpieces like 1984’s milestone I Often Dream of Trains and 1990’s Eye, Hitchcock has crafted a strikingly original oeuvre rife with sagacious observation, astringent wit, recurring marine life, mechanised rail services, cheese, Clint Eastwood, and innumerable finely drawn characters, real and imagined.
