Our Take

Hello there, music aficionados! Today, we are diving headfirst into the whimsical world of XTC with their reissue of "Nonsuch (Expanded Edition)".

Hailing from good ol' Swindon, England, these blokes have been enchanting listeners with their unique blend of art rock and quirky pop sensibilities since the late '70s. And let me tell you, this expanded edition of "Nonsuch" is an absolute treat for the ears.

From the infectious hooks of "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" to the dreamy vibes of "My Bird Performs", this album is a rollercoaster of sonic delights. And let's not forget the sly wit and satirical lyricism that XTC is renowned for. It's like getting a cheeky wink from your cool uncle at a family gathering.

But what sets this expanded edition apart is the bonus material. With demos, acoustic versions, and live recordings, it's like having a backstage pass to the band's creative process. It's like finding a hidden gem in your favourite record store.

So, whether you're a die-hard XTC fan or a curious newcomer, "Nonsuch (Expanded Edition)" is a must-have addition to your music collection. Trust me, you won't be able to resist tapping your toes and bopping your head to these timeless tunes. Cheers, XTC – you've done it again!

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.
