2014 Robyn Hitchcock The Man Upstairs LP 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl & CD & Download New Release. Yep Roc Records YEP2368 UPC 634457236813  BRAND NEW SEALED.

The Man Upstairs is the 20th studio release from psychedelic folk musician Robyn Hitchcock. The effort sees Hitchcock team up with producer Joe Boyd (Nick Drake, Fairport Convention) and produce an album of covers of his favorite songs, as well as some original tunes. The record features versions of Roxy Music's "To Turn You On," the Doors "The Crystal Ship," and the Psychedelic Furs "The Ghost.

The Man Upstairs sees psychedelic troubadour Robyn Hitchcock uniting with legendary producer Joe Boyd (Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, R.E.M.) for one of the most unique outings of his already quite distinctive career. The album - which arrives just one short year after 2013's acclaimed Love From London - sees the British singer/songwriter musing on mortality, masculinity, and the impossibility of forever via an unexpected intermingling of self-penned originals and ''songs I wished I'd written.'' Modern standards like The Doors' ''The Crystal Ship'' and The Psychedelic Furs' ''The Ghost In You'' are reimagined as stark and melancholy folk ballads, and then set to powerful effect alongside haunting new songs like the plaintive ''Recalling The Truth.'' Hitchcock's 20th solo studio recording - give or take a few outtake, demo, and rarities compilations - The Man Upstairs is a remarkable portrait of an artist raging quietly against the dying of the proverbial light. ''Yet another autumnal record,'' says Robyn. ''Yet another elegiac record. It's reminiscent of I Often Dream Of Trains - there's a lot of autumn on that record as well. It was me, half the age I am now, already kind of nostalgic
