| Description: | The legendary British artist??s first full-length collection in over five years, SHUFFLEMANIA! has already been hailed on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the finest releases in his inimitable canon. The album includes such new Hitchcockian favorites as ??The Shuffle Man? and ??The Raging Muse,? both joined by official animated videos streaming now at YouTube. Recorded in locations around the world over the pandemic era, SHUFFLEMANIA! offers up ten gloriously ingenious new Robyn Hitchcock songs in just under 40 minutes - a ??proper pop album? as nature intended. Songs like ??Midnight Tram To Nowhere? and the optimistic, album-closing ??One Day (It??s Being Scheduled)? are state-of-the-art Hitchcock, manifesting his signature wit, miraculous gift for melodic craftsmanship, and striking humanity in a world gone mad. "With help from Johnny Marr, some former Soft Boys bandmates, and more, Robyn has made one of his best albums in ages.? - BROOKLYN VEGAN ??A nervy, jangly, reverb-laden rocker that sounds a bit like Bob Dylan doing power-pop.? - STEREOGUM ??Robyn Hitchcock??s first album since 2017 is thronged with actual humans - among them Johnny Marr, Soft Boys compadres Kimberley Rew and Morris Windsor, Sean Ono Lennon and Brendan Benson. None of them crowd out Hitchcock??s distinctive songwriting though, nor his undimmed ability to reach through the existential murk and grasp a revelation or two.? - MOJO
