The Planet England EP was under construction for 13 years and marks the first release from Hitchcock since his 2017 self-titled album. It’s the first new album from Partridge since 2012.
“Rather than these two big planets and their similar odd gravities repulsing each other, as might be anticipated. I can cheerfully tell you that it’s been one rather beautiful crashing creative event…that I want to repeat,” Partridge says of the forthcoming EP. “Feels like being in a group again.”

“Andy and I are the same age and suffer from the same record collection, especially the B’s: Barrett, Beatles, Beefheart,” Hitchcock adds. “Andy is the only person that I can easily write songs with. They simply appear, as if we were at a seance. He’s perhaps more logical than me, but it’s not really a contest, is it? A lot of song-writing is solving a puzzle that you’ve set for yourself; I really enjoy going round to his place in Swindon and puzzling with him. I live just up the road, in Nashville…”
(Robyn Hitchcock)
