Robyn Hitchcock returns with his 20th studio album titled The Man Upstairs on August 26th. The ten track album includes brand new material as well as a handful of cover songs originally recorded by Roxy Music, the Doors, and the Psychedelic Furs. Hitchcock embraced the idea of recording as a performer utilizing a mix of new and old material, instead of "just another singer-songwriter laying their freshest eggs."
So far Hitchcock announced a pair of shows in June, however according to Hitchcock's press release, a full North American tour will be announced in the weeks to come. Check out Hitchcock's cover of Psych Furs' "The Ghost Of You" and the tracklisting for The Man Upstairs below:
