The GXO Podcast: A Renaissance of Robyn Pt 2
We continue our three-part odyssey into the cosmic matter that is Robyn Hitchcock. If Part 1 established him as the last true sonic horticulturalist, Part 2 ventures deeper into the post-post-modern retro sonic elixir that springs eternal through the veins of the Summer of Love and into the soul of Robyn Hitchcock.
In this installment, we decode the enigma through the lens of filmmaker Jonathan Demme. We explore his seminal rock classic Storefront Hitchcock, a film that perfectly captures the genius of Robyn in the raw, intimate setting of an abandoned used clothing store on 14th Street in Manhattan. It is a masterclass in performance and atmosphere, and the definitive gateway for anyone looking to plug directly into the Hitchcock frequency.
And just when you least expect it, our journey takes a mystery riddled detour through GXO influencer; the reclusive Halifax-based Power Pop practitioner, Todd Michalik and his trilogy of albums—Felt, Left, and Elft—how Michalik first introduced the music of Robyn Hitchcock through his hallowed collection of Hitchcock cassettes into the consciousness of GXO Podcast host The Generation X Offender himself.
Robyn Hitchcock, the 14-year-old spirit celestially informed through 365 days of 1966 into 1967, trapped inside a six-decade odyssey of sound.
And you wont want to miss one second of it.
We promise.
