Album Notes & Community Reviews

Robyn Hitchcock's wildly eccentric vision first fully materialized on The Soft Boys' remarkably quirky, deeply surreal debut. 'A Can of Bees' is a fiercely energetic, wonderfully playful collision of jagged post-punk rhythms, deeply sarcastic humor, and the swirling, noisy neo-psychedelia that would soon make them legends of the alternative underground.
