Robyn Hitchcock

Musician

English singer-songwriter known for surreal lyrics and psychedelic/folk-influenced pop; frontman of The Soft Boys and a prolific solo artist who later worked with the Egyptians.

Frequently compared in reviews to Syd Barrett and 60s songwriters; led The Soft Boys before a long solo career; celebrated for idiosyncratic, visionary songs and occasional uneven releases.

DeBaser hosts a small set of reviews that treat Robyn Hitchcock as a singular, surreal songwriter whose work draws frequent Barrett and 60s comparisons. Reviewers praise his visionary moments (especially on I Often Dream of Trains and Black Snake Diamond Role) while sometimes criticizing uneven releases. The overall view: an idiosyncratic, enduring artist with high peaks and occasional lapses.

For:Listeners of psychedelic/alternative indie rock, fans of 60s-influenced songwriting, followers of The Soft Boys and Robyn Hitchcock solo work.

 Thank heavens in our career as listeners we have not missed encounters with moody and irregular musicians, people capable of bringing out the best in themselves while walking the fine red line between the recording studio and the psychiatric ward.
