Our Take

With their album "Oranges And Lemons," XTC are serving up a juicy fruit salad of sonic delights that is both zesty and refreshing. The band's quirky blend of new wave and pop sensibilities is on full display here, with each track bursting with vibrant energy and infectious melodies.

From the opening notes of "Garden of Earthly Delights" to the closing refrains of "Chalkhills and Children," XTC take listeners on a whimsical journey through a kaleidoscope of musical influences. The band's knack for crafting catchy hooks and clever lyrics is on full display, with songs like "Mayor of Simpleton" and "King for a Day" standing out as highlights.

But it's not just the music that shines on "Oranges And Lemons" – XTC's playful approach to songwriting is matched by their inventive production. The album is filled with quirky flourishes and unexpected turns, keeping listeners on their toes from start to finish.

In a music landscape filled with bland imitators and formulaic pop acts, XTC's "Oranges And Lemons" is a refreshing blast of originality and creativity. With its irreverent charm and infectious hooks, this album is a true masterpiece that will have you coming back for seconds – and maybe even thirds. So go ahead, take a bite out of this musical fruit salad – you won't regret it.

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.
