*"...another fine Robyn Hitchcock album, proving that, almost 35 years into his recording career, his gift for crafting such perfectly-imperfect, winningly-askew pop as strong as ever. To his loyal followers, this is great news; to the uninitiated, this is where to begin your journey into the Hitchcockverse."* BBC Music



Recorded at home in West London over the Summer of 2006 and beyond, *Propellor Time* features R.E.M.’s *Peter Buck* on 12 string and acoustic guitars - he also co-wrote the title track - and the rhythm section of *Scott McCaughey* (Young Fresh Fellows) on bass and *Bill Rieflin* on drums (formerly of Ministry and Revolting Cocks).



A star-studded array of illustrious guest musicians make vital contributions - *John Paul Jones* (Led Zeppelin/Them Crooked Vultures) on mandolin; *Johnny Marr* (The Smiths/Modest Mouse) who co-wrote “Ordinary Millionaire” on which he plays guitar; *Nick Lowe* and former Soft Boy/Egyptian band mate *Morris Windsor* provide vocal harmonies and *Kate St John* and *Ruby Wright* provide oboe and musical saw respectively.



Its predecessor, 2008’s *Shadowcat* (a collection of ‘90s outtakes) is also available on download here.



Hitchcock fans living in the USA and Canada are advised to order direct from Robyn’s website where it’ll be cheaper and quicker to get the CD/LP direct.
