Our Take

XTC's debut album "White Music" is a wild ride through the eclectic minds of Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding. From the frantic opener "Radios in Motion" to the dreamy "Statue of Liberty," this record is a whirlwind of post-punk energy and avant-garde experimentation.

Partridge's wry wit and Moulding's melodic basslines create a unique sonic landscape that is as catchy as it is unpredictable. Tracks like "Meccanik Dancing" and "Science Friction" showcase the band's knack for blending angular guitar riffs with infectious hooks, creating a sound that is both angular and accessible.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the frenetic "This is Pop," a tongue-in-cheek anthem that pokes fun at the music industry while simultaneously serving as a catchy earworm. The band's irreverent sense of humour is on full display throughout the album, adding an element of unpredictability that keeps listeners on their toes.

Overall, "White Music" is a bold and exciting debut from XTC that solidifies their place as one of the most innovative bands of the post-punk era. With its genre-defying sound and playful spirit, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking for a musical adventure unlike any other.

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.
