Propellor Time

VINYL FORMAT. A prolific renegade and visionary cult artist, Hitchcock has released numerous albums with his long-standing outfits The Soft Boys and Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians, as well as his own ample solo work - of which Propellor Time is the very latest. Recorded at home in London's Tropic of Hounslow over the summer of 2006 and beyond, Propellor Time is no single-handed effort: The Venus 3, Hitchcock's backing band for this recording, boasts the rhythm section of Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows) on bass and Bill Rieflin on drums (formerly of Ministry and Revolting Cocks). Making a rare appearance as a sideman outside his usual group, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck (on twelve string and acoustic guitars) completes this esteemed line-up and is co-writer of the album's title track with Hitchcock.
