Album Review: Robyn Hitchcock - The Man Upstairs

Christopher H James

"The Man Upstairs is another charming effort"

Robyn Hitchcock

Hitchcock has finally fulfilled a lifelong dream by recording an album (his kazillionth it seems) with ‘60s/‘70s folk-rock conduit Joe Boyd. Long in the tooth fans, however, will be frothing over the fact that Hitchcock has finally fulfilled their dreams by putting down a studio version of The Ghost In You – a song he’s performed live for years – exploring its nuances and potential way beyond the Psychedelic Furs original. The Man Upstairs is another charming effort that also features the gently lilting To Turn You On.
