Album Notes & Community Reviews

Robyn Hitchcock鈥檚 surreal, heavily Byrds-influenced songwriting shines brilliantly on this remarkably quirky, jangle-pop masterpiece. 'Fegmania!' is packed with incredibly catchy, melodic hooks, swirling organ lines, and highly poetic, absurdist lyricism regarding insects, death, and surrealist romance. The album remains a deeply playful, warm, and highly energetic cornerstone of 80s neo-psychedelia.
