Description

XTC – English Settlement
Inventive, intelligent, and beautifully textured — English Settlement (1982) is XTC’s sprawling post-punk masterpiece. Expanding into acoustic layers, intricate rhythms, and sharp political lyricism, the album delivers classics like “Senses Working Overtime,” “No Thugs in Our House,” and “Jason and the Argonauts.” Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding are at peak songwriting power here, blending jangly guitars, angular grooves, and rich melodies into a powerful, forward-thinking double LP. It’s arty, tuneful, and still ahead of its time. Clean vinyl, striking green sleeve — essential for fans of clever 80s guitar pop, post-punk innovation, and vinyl with real depth.
