He formed The Commotions in 1982 while studying philosophy at the University of Glasgow. What originally started as a hobby for students, largely through Cole’s sophisticated style of writing, soon became a creative force to be reckoned with. The band’s debut, “Rattlesnakes” was a wry, heartfelt record of jangling guitar pop that was rich with references to the likes of Simone De Beauvoir, Norman Mailer, or Jules et Jim. The brilliance of this songwriting subsequently took over to his solo work, when he departed from The Commotions in 1987 to move to New York and establish himself as a solo artist. Undergoing several artistic shifts, from minimalistic to folk-rock-inspired to electronic, Cole’s work never compromised the high creative value that he has proven to\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eprovide over his distinguished career. His artistic integrity and proven\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edivergence make him one of the most capable and remarkable songwriters to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis summer, Cole’s latest work “On Pain” – his thirteenth album in\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esolo – will be released via earMUSIC. Following on from his last album, 2019's critically acclaimed \"Guesswork\", the musical style of “On Pain”\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003econsists mainly of electronic sounds. Once Lloyd Cole had formulated a sonic picture of the record he wanted to make, the arrival of each new song gradually brought that picture into focus. His distinguishable voice and sophisticated lyricism invite the listener into the mindset of someone who has reached old age and is coming to terms with this. At\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etimes, the experience of listening to “On Pain” is akin to sitting in a\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esleek, state-of-the-art departure lounge, unsure of quite where you’re waiting to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
