Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0634457215023 Format: EP Label: Yep Roc Records Manufacturer: Yep Roc Records Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Yep Roc Records Release Date: March 06, 2007 Studio: Yep Roc Records Editorial Review: Album Description: Sex, Food, Death and Tarantulas is the new EP from Robyn Hitchcock, the auteur of the highly-acclaimed album Olé! Tarantula. It contains six live unreleased tracks including the Soft Boys classic "Give It to the Soft Boys," Hitchcock solo gems like "Sometimes a Blonde," and the Venus 3's "(A Man's Got to Know His Limitations) Briggs." Also included are two videos for "Adventure Rocket Ship" from Olé! Tarantula--one live-action video and a wistful stop-motion animation rendering. In addition to the these extras overflowing from the Olé! Tarantula sessions and tour, keep an eye out for a documentary profiling the psych-popster to air on the Sundance channel which will debut at the SXSW film festival. Average Rating:

Amazing sound quality and performances ...

I had not bought anything of his since Perspex Island (1991), but I enjoy a casual listen. This CD is excellent! The live cuts are well produced; so much so, if you didn't hear crowd applause after and before, you'd think it was a live studio recording. Hitchcock's backing band (REM's Buck, Scott McCoughey and Bill Reiflin from REM's touring band and The Minus 5) ... Read More |
