About Andy Partridge

Genre
Pop
Best known as the primary singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the British art pop band XTC, Andy Partridge has made a career out of creating music that's deliciously melodic and idiosyncratic, maturing from energetic and angular new wave to brilliantly crafted pop classicism. While Partridge made his solo debut in 1980 with a collection of XTC remixes, the significant majority of his solo work arrived after they became inactive, as he released an extensive series of archival recordings under the Fuzzy Warbles banner, and collaborated with Peter Blegvad, Robyn Hitchcock, and Barry Andrews, among others. 2010's Powers was a collection of instrumental pieces inspired by the artwork of sci-fi illustrator Richard M. Powers, 2012's Gonwards was a fusion of song and spoken word that Partridge created in tandem with Blegvad, and a long-gestating studio project with Stu Rowe and Jen Olive surfaced in 2023 on the EP The Three Clubmen.
Andy Partridge has also released music as a member of XTC, The 3 Clubmen, and Monstrance.
