{"product_id":"robyn-hitchcock-the-confuser","title":"Robyn Hitchcock - The Confuser","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRobyn Hitchcock's first collection of new songs in four years arrived in July 2026, cut in Nashville with Brad Jones co-producing. Ten tracks, and by Hitchcock standards an unusually direct one, though \"direct\" for a man who has spent five decades writing about insects, ghosts and the sea still means opening the second track with the words \"My Dead Astronaut.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe band is the story. Kimberley Rew, his old Soft Boys bandmate, was flown in from the UK to play electric guitar, making this the closest thing to a Soft Boys reunion in years and putting a specific kind of jangle back into Hitchcock's music that has been missing for a while. Jeremy Fetzer plays guitar alongside him, Todd Bolden is on bass, Eric Slick drums throughout. Gillian Welch sings on \"Ghost In Sunlight.\" The writing sits in folk-rock territory with the psychedelia used as seasoning rather than as the meal, and \"Yesterday's Rain,\" \"The Vanishing Kind\" and the closing \"Wasted\" are the ones that lodge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHitchcock has been reliably good for so long that it is easy to let a new album pass. This one deserves better than that. The playing is loose and warm, the songs are among his most immediately tuneful in years, and Rew's presence gives it a lineage the last few records did not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSingle LP, mastered and lacquer cut by John Baldwin at Infrasonic Nashville.
