Marshall Crenshaw has always been out of step in the best possible way — and that's precisely what makes him so enduring. Since his 1982 debut, he's crafted songs that feel timeless: melodic, concise, and bracingly human. Now at 71, he presents From "The Hellhole", a 14-track collection of remixed and remastered material recorded across two decades starting in 1990, drawn from a series of EPs and rare deep cuts mostly captured in his home studio — affectionately nicknamed The Hellhole.
A testament to the depth of Crenshaw's catalog, this collection proves that even his lesser-heard recordings make for a compelling listen. Highlights include a dreamy, dub-infused take on "(They Long to Be) Close to You" offered as a heartfelt homage to Karen Carpenter and the legendary Wrecking Crew, alongside a revisited version of "I Don't See You Laughing Now" featuring guitarist Andy York and bassist Graham Maby. It's a rich, carefully curated look at an artist whose songwriting has never stopped surprising.
