Early Life and Career

Born in London in 1953, Hitchcock attended Winchester College and the City's revolutionary clatter, the band still manifested the era's spirit of DIY independence with their breakneck reimagining of British psychedelia.

The Soft Boys

During their original lifetime, The Soft Boys released but two albums, among them 1980's landmark LP, Underwater Moonlight. Rolling Stone declared upon the album's 2001 reissue that the term 'classic' is almost as overused as 'genius' and 'influential'. However, Underwater Moonlight remains all three of those descriptions.

Solo Career

Hitchcock launched his solo career with 1981's Black Snake Diamond Rle, affirming his knack for idiosyncratic insight and surrealist hijinks. 1984's I Often Dream Of Trains fused that approach with autumnal acoustic arrangements, which served to deepen the emotional range of his songcraft.

Robyn Hitchcock and The Egyptians

Robyn Hitchcock and The Egyptians were launched that same year and immediately lit up US college rock playlists with albums like 1986's Element of Light. Cited as an influence by REM and The Replacements, he signed to Alternative hits with Balloon Man and Madonna of the Wasps.

Back to Acoustics

Hitchcock returned to his dark acoustic palette with 1990's equally masterful Eye before joining the Warner Bros. label for a succession of acclaimed albums, including 1996's Moss Elixir and 1999's Jewels For Sophia.

The Soft Boys Reunion and Collaborations

The Soft Boys came together for a second go-around in 2001, releasing Nextdoorland on Matador Records to critical applause. Hitchcock joined the Yep Roc label in 2004, releasing collaborations with like-minded friends Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings (2004's Spooked) and legendary producer Joe Boyd (2014's The Man Upstairs).

The Venus 3 and Move to Nashville

Beginning in 2006, Hitchcock released a trio of albums backed by The Venus 3, featuring Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, and the late Bill Rieflin. Robyn moved to Nashville in 2015 and gravitated to the Music City community, recording 2017's Robyn Hitchcock with a variety of local talent including co-producer Brendan Benson.
