How did Robyn Hitchcock follow up 2022’s Shufflemania!, one of the best albums of his career? By releasing his first album of instrumentals. Life After Infinity is an inspired collection that brings Hitchcock’s talents as a melodist and instrumentalist into the spotlight. With co-producer Charlie Francis providing accompaniment on bass and percussion, Hitchcock plays a variety of instruments on the 11 compositions that range from the traditional pop of “Mr. Ringerson’s Picnic” and the rootsy rock of “Tubby Among the Nightingales” to the atmospheric “Plesiosaurs in the Desert” and the sonically experimental “Veronica’s Chapel.”
