Stage left! It's time for Strong Songs to talk about XTC. Stage right! Now the song is picked, analysis can begin. Stand up! If we listen close, we'll hear some lovely notes...
On this episode, Kirk takes the stage alongside "Easter Theatre," the first single off of XTC's 1999 experimental symphono-pop album Apple Venus: Vol. 1. Bring on the bassoons and power up the mellotron; we've got some shapes to stack.
Written by: Andy Partridge
Produced by: Haydn Bendall & Nick Davies
Album: Apple Venus Vol. 1, 1999 and Instruvenus, 2002
