Robyn Hitchcock - The Confuser (Vinyl LP)

Robyn Hitchcock's New 2026 Studio Album The Confuser on LP.

The brand new jangle rock album from legendary UK cult songwriter Robyn Hitchcock. The album was recorded in Nashville, TN with Jeremy Fetzer (electric guitar), Todd Bolden (bass) and Eric Slick (drums).

Robyn Hitchcock is a rock'n'roll surrealist. Born in London on March 3rd, 1953 he describes his songs as "pictures you can listen to." As much a child of Dali, De Chirico, and JG Ballard as of his 1960s musical heroes, he is a master of the absurd, reveling in the beauty of the unexpected. His first publicly visible band The Soft Boys (1976 – 81) has remained an influential art-rock touchstone for generations of musicians. "I just want to be an obscure cult fringe," he told the NME in 1978; the NME didn't believe him, but he's been true to his ambition. Without ever breaking the surface of pop culture Hitchcock has floated at a tangent to the mainstream for nearly five decades. His songs have been performed by R.E.M., The Replacements, Neko Case, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Lou Barlow, Grant Lee Phillips, Sparklehorse, and Suzanne Vega with the Grateful Dead among others. A confirmed outsider, he nonetheless has devoted listeners around the world who attend his concerts, and also tune into the online streaming shows Robyn seasonally does with his wife, the singer Emma Swift. In 1996 he was the subject of Jonathan Demme's in-concert film, Storefront Hitchcock.
