XTC - Drums & Wires

The band's third album from 1979 but first without co-founder Barry Andrews. Drums and Wires was a cavalcade of Andy Partridge's neuroses and paranoia. Although it contained 2 quirky bona fide pop songs - the calling card Making Plans for Nigel and the breezy Life Begins at the Hop. The music is as jagged as Partridge's attitude and a massive influence on the sound of now.
