109 A Renaissance Of Robyn: Hitchcock Pt 1

Robyn Hitchcock. The man who never left the Summer of Love, a 14-year-old spirit trapped in a six-decade odyssey of sound. While others, high priests of the sonic psychedelic prose revolution, Lennon, Dylan, Barrett, eventually moved on to other pastures, Robyn Hitchcock stayed to cultivate the gardens they'd abandoned.In this premiere episode of our latest series, A Renaissance of Robyn: Hitchcock Pt 1, we pull back the shades and let the sun shine in on the man who became the physical manifestation of 1967 itself. From the fruits of whimsy to the deep, tangled roots of genius, we explore how Hitchcock remains to this day the last true sonic horticulturalist of any generation.While some artists change with the tides; Robyn Hitchcock stands firm in the soil, cultivating his own garden of earthly delights and he's invited you in. Are you ready to step inside?Join us for the latest episode of the GXO podcast as we decode an enigma. You won't want to miss where this journey leads.
