Our Take

Ah, XTC. The band that is as enigmatic as their name suggests. Their album "Go2" is a true testament to their ability to push boundaries and defy genres.

From the moment you press play, you are catapulted into a world of whimsical melodies and off-kilter rhythms. The opening track "Meccanik Dancing (Oh We Go!)" sets the tone perfectly, with its frenetic pace and catchy chorus that will have you bopping your head in no time.

But don't be fooled by the upbeat vibes, XTC isn't here to play it safe. Tracks like "Battery Brides (Andy Paints Brian)" and "Crowded Room" showcase the band's darker, more experimental side, with haunting vocals and eerie guitar riffs that will send shivers down your spine.

And let's not forget about frontman Andy Partridge's unique vocals, which range from whispers to screams with ease. His delivery is as erratic and unpredictable as the music itself, keeping listeners on their toes throughout the album.

In conclusion, "Go2" is a wild ride from start to finish. It may not be your typical easy-listening album, but if you're willing to take a chance on something a bit different, XTC will surely not disappoint. Strap in, because this is one journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

XTC

XTC: The Eccentric Geniuses of Swindon If there's one band that encapsulates the quirky, offbeat charm of British alternative rock, it's XTC. Formed in Swindon in 1972, this group of musical mavericks has been pushing the boundaries of pop music for nearly five decades. Led by the enigmatic frontman Andy Partridge, XTC's music is a heady mix of angular guitars, intricate melodies, and razor-sharp lyrics. Songs like "Senses Working Overtime" and "Making Plans for Nigel" showcase the band's knack for combining infectious hooks with thought-provoking social commentary. But XTC's appeal goes beyond just their music. The band's live performances are legendary for their energy and unpredictability, with Partridge's charismatic stage presence keeping audiences on their toes. And let's not forget their iconic music videos, which often feature surreal visuals and playful nods to pop culture. Despite their critical acclaim and dedicated fanbase, XTC has always remained somewhat under the radar in the mainstream music world. But for those in the know, this band is a true hidden gem, ripe for discovery. So whether you're a die-hard XTC fan or a newcomer to their eclectic sound, one thing's for sure: this band is not to be missed. Take a dive into the weird and wonderful world of XTC – your ears will thank you.
