Autorenporträt

With a career now spanning six decades, Robyn Hitchcock remains a truly one-of-a-kind artist: surrealist rock 'n' roller, iconic troubadour, guitarist, poet, painter, performer. An unparalleled, deeply individualistic songwriter and stylist, Hitchcock has traversed myriad genres with humour, intelligence and originality over more than thirty albums and seemingly infinite live performances. From the Soft Boys' protopsych-punk and the Egyptians' Dadaist pop, to solo masterpieces like 1984's milestone 'I Often Dream of Trains' and 1990's Eye, Hitchcock has crafted a strikingly original oeuvre rife with sagacious observation, astringent wit, recurring marine life, mechanised rail services, cheese, Clint Eastwood, and innumerable finely drawn characters both real and imagined. His songs have been covered by R.E.M., Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Neko Case and Suzanne Vega with the Grateful Dead, amongst others. His main interest outside music, writing and drawing, is obsolete electric traction. He is based in Nashville with his wife Emma and their cats Ringo and Tubby.
