An often passed-over record by one of my favorites: Mr. Robyn Hitchcock. Released three years after Respect -- an excellent album that has unfairly been pegged as the nadir of his discography -- Moss Elixir is, with a few notable exceptions, a relatively restrained affair. Harkening back to the sound of Eye and I Often Dream of Trains, two of his most well-received collections, Hitchcock sticks mostly to acoustic and clean electric guitars and his own very English singing voice, and the results are as strangely gorgeous and sad as anything he's made.
