Our Take

XTC's "Oranges & Lemons" is a zesty blend of catchy hooks and off-kilter charm that will have you grooving like a madman in no time. This 1989 release showcases the band at the height of their creative powers, weaving together a tapestry of sonic delights that will leave you reaching for the repeat button. From the jangly guitars of "The Mayor of Simpleton" to the infectious pop of "King for a Day," each track is a mini-masterpiece in its own right.

Frontman Andy Partridge's distinctive vocals soar and swoop with a playful energy, while the tight rhythms of bassist Colin Moulding and drummer Dave Gregory keep the whole affair ticking along nicely. The production is crisp and clean, allowing every instrument to shine through in all its glory. And let's not forget about the lyrics – Partridge's witty wordplay and sly social commentary add an extra layer of depth to the proceedings.

So, grab yourself a cuppa, sit back, and let XTC take you on a journey through their whimsical world of oranges and lemons. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. 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.
