Best Pop-Rock Album in Nashville 2026: Robyn Hitchcock, The Confuser
On his latest album The Confuser, Robyn Hitchcock reminds us no one is making better rock records these days. A masterful lyricist, Hitchcock explores existential questions and life’s absurdities on his 25th studio album with humor, wonder and a touch of cynicism. Musically, the U.K.-born rocker continues his work as a standard-bearer for the pop-rock music of the mid- to late ’60s. The record’s 10 groovy tracks feature inventive guitar interplay between Hitchcock and guitarist Jeremy Fetzer, as well as special guest Kimberley Rew — Hitchcock’s onetime bandmate in The Soft Boys, whom he calls his “archetypal guitar foil.”
