Written by Laura Johnson
Robyn Hitchcock will release a self-titled new album this spring.
The follow up to 2014's 'The Man Upstairs' is due to arrive on April 21 through Yep Roc Records. Check out the record's opener, I Want To Tell You About What I Want, along with its tracklist and artwork, below.
About the single, Hitchcock said:
“The original title of the song was My Vision of World Empathy. Either we will become extinct and eventually be replaced by cats with articulated thumbs who have evolved the way apes slowly evolved into us. Or we will become empathic and mildly telepathic – people like Donald Trump won’t happen because biologically no human will be born with that lack of empathy. We will become a species that isn’t capable of bullying because we can feel what we’re doing to other people. There is obviously some evolutionary step between the human and the angel that needs to take place. Maybe when we have enough suffering credits our DNA will go, Right! Here we go! Homo angelicus – it can read your mind, it’s compassionate, it can levitate, and it’s a great lover! It shares its fish sticks with you and flies you back in time to see the Velvet Underground! That is what we need to become.”
