For the 45th anniversary of The Soft Boys' influential second album, Underwater Moonlight, we take a detailed look at how it was made. When Robyn Hitchcock first started a band in Cambridge, England under the name Dennis and the Experts, he recruited Morris Windsor, Andy Metcalfe and Alan Davies. They changed their name to The Soft Boys and released an EP called Give It to the Soft Boys in 1977. Kimberly Rew replaced Alan Davies on guitar as they began working with Radar Records, releasing a single in 1978. After Radar dropped them, they self-released their first album, A Can of Bees, in 1979. At this point, Matthew Seligman replaced Andy Metcalfe on bass as they began working on the material for their second full-length album. Underwater Moonlight was eventually released by the Armageddon label in 1980. In this episode, Robyn Hitchcock describes how the band shifted musically from doing Captain Beefheart-inspired art rock into more Beatles-influenced pop rock. With Matthew Seligman rejoining the band and bringing a more melodic approach to his bass playing, Hitchcock began coming up with more traditional song structures. As punk was rearing its head in England in the late 70s, The Soft Boys proudly wore their 60s influences on their sleeve, incorporating three-part harmonies, jangly guitars and the occasional sitar. Hitchcock wrote with some of the political anger of punk, but also added J.G. Ballard-influenced grotesque imagery. From recording on a shoestring budget, to producer Pat Collier's 60s approach of bouncing tracks, to the absence of a former girlfriend inspiring the majority of the songs, to the band ending early but going on to inspire legions of fans, including bands like R.E.M. and the Replacements, to a record chock full of power pop gems, we'll hear the stories of how the album came together.

Frankie Ballard burst onto the country rock scene in 2010 with grit in his voice and gasoline in his veins, scoring three consecutive No. 1 hits, including Sunshine & Whiskey and racking up nearly a billion global streams. He toured with legends, lived on the road more than 200 days a year, and embodied the carefree, hard-driving spirit his songs celebrated. But behind the success, the pace was unsustainable. By 2020, the chase for approval and constant motion had taken its toll. Ballard stepped away from the spotlight, started a family, and quietly deepened his faith. What followed wasn’t a rebrand, it was a realignment. In 2025, he returned with The Messenger, a gospel-leaning, scripture-rooted record infused with blues and rock conviction. Then came “Money Runs Out,” a sharp reflection on loyalty, loss, and what remains when fame fades. Today, Frankie Ballard isn’t chasing charts, he’s chasing truth. Grounded in fatherhood, disciplined in faith, and unafraid of hard questions, his music now carries the weight of lived experience. This isn’t a comeback. It’s a reckoning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
