Luxor is a solo album by Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Rowan Hitchcock is an English singer-songwriter and guitarist. While primarily a vocalist and guitarist, he also plays harmonica, piano and bass guitar....

, released in March 2003 on Hitchcock's own Editions PAF! label.

The album contains thirteen self-composed tracks, including the instrumental title song and several love songs to Hitchcock's partner Michele Noach. One of these, "One L" makes reference to the spelling of her name, whilst "Ant Corridor" was written around one of Noach's off-hand comments.

Another instrumental, "The Wolf House", is a guitar-based composition drawing on the repeating figures heard in the coda of "You Remind Me of You".

Despite being predominantly an acoustic set, several of these songs are up-tempo, and the album as a whole lacks Hitchcock's usual sense of minute observation. It comes packaged with a full colour booklet containing several of Noach's photographic portraits of Hitchcock.

The album features a guest appearance by multi-instrumentalist/producer Jon Brion
