Live Review: Robyn Hitchcock w/ Imogen Clark @ The Atlantis — 10/25/24
Robyn Hitchcock has described his songs as “paintings you can listen to.” They’re typically surreal, but also, often, quite beautiful. His stage banter is equally off the beaten path, and his recent performance at The Atlantis was full of charming, eccentric asides.
Over a long career, Hitchcock’s influence has far outstripped his commercial success. Beginning with the Soft Boys, his ability to mix pop song craftsmanship, melodicism, and an off-kilter sensibility left its mark on generations of alternative rockers, especially REM. Over the course of his solo career, he’s embraced a more acoustic sound, and he’s even worked with beloved roots duo Gillian Welch and David Rawlings on the album Spooked.
