Overview:
Skylarking is the ninth studio album by the English band XTC, released on 27 October 1986. The eighth studio album was actually the Dukes of Stratosphear release '25 O'Clock'.
Produced by American musician Todd Rundgren, Skylarking is a loose concept album centred around various cycles in life, such as the seasons, days, and years. The title was chosen as a double entendre, referring to a type of bird (skylark), as well as the British navy term "skylarking", which means "fooling around".

The album was listed on "greatest albums of the 1980s" lists by Rolling Stone in 1989 and Pitchfork in 2002.
