<a href="/tags/robyn-hitchcock">Robyn Hitchcock</a> releases ‘THE CONFUSER’, a Nashville-recorded jangle-rock album produced with Brad Jones. The record brings Hitchcock together with Jeremy Fetzer, Todd Bolden, Eric Slick and longtime musical ally Kimberley Rew, creating a full-band setting for the surreal humour and melodic instinct that have defined his work for decades. At 73, Hitchcock remains uninterested in becoming a tidy heritage artist explaining old songs beneath respectful theatre lighting.
His writing continues to move through dream logic, mortality, memory and ordinary objects that suddenly acquire philosophical importance. The Nashville musicians give the album warmth and momentum while leaving enough space for the lyrics to behave strangely. ‘THE CONFUSER’ is an admirably honest title. Hitchcock has spent more than fifty years making the world less clear and considerably more interesting. Explore more psych and jangle in <a href="/genres/indie-rock">Indie Rock</a>.
