Our Take

XTC's "Mummer" is a delightful romp through the psychedelic landscape of British pop, filled with whimsical melodies and unexpected twists and turns. From the opening track "Beating of Hearts" to the funky grooves of "Wonderland," this album is a true gem in the band's discography.

Frontman Andy Partridge's quirky lyrics and inventive songwriting are on full display here, with tracks like "Love on a Farmboy's Wages" and "Ladybird" showcasing his unique perspective on the world. The production on "Mummer" is top-notch, with lush arrangements and intricate instrumentation that will keep listeners coming back for more.

One standout track is the hauntingly beautiful "In Loving Memory of a Name," which features dreamy vocals and ethereal harmonies that are sure to send shivers down your spine. The album closes with the epic "Me and the Wind," a sweeping anthem that builds to a grand crescendo and leaves you wanting more.

Overall, "Mummer" is a fantastic addition to XTC's impressive catalogue, and a must-listen for fans of quirky British pop. With its eclectic mix of styles and infectious melodies, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let XTC take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!

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.
