Description
XTC – English Settlement
Originally released in 1982, English Settlement is a watershed work for XTC that provides a valuable link between the band they had been (caustic, high pitched, and quirky) and the band they became (sublime, pastoral, and still undeniably quirky). It reveals a band in transition, coming only months before swearing off touring, due to Andy Partridge’s stage fright, and the subsequent departure of drummer Terry Chambers. despite the internal hemorrhaging, or perhaps because of it, XTC produced their finest record.
