Our Take

LLOYD COLE AND THE COMMOTIONS' "Easy Pieces" is a delightful romp through the jangly pop landscape of the 1980s. The band's effortlessly catchy melodies and clever lyrics make for a winning combination that'll have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time.

On tracks like "Lost Weekend" and "Jennifer She Said," Cole's distinctive vocals shine, effortlessly blending wit and vulnerability in a way that feels both timeless and of its era. The Commotions' tight musicianship provides the perfect backdrop, with jangly guitars and shimmering keyboards adding layers of texture to the proceedings.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Easy Pieces." Tracks like "Brand New Friend" and "Mr Malcontent" delve into darker territory, exploring themes of loneliness and disillusionment with a raw honesty that cuts to the core. It's this juxtaposition of light and dark that gives the album its depth and emotional resonance.

All in all, "Easy Pieces" is a gem of an album that's sure to please fans of 80s alternative pop. With its infectious hooks and thoughtful lyrics, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions have crafted a record that stands the test of time. So grab your Walkman, pop in the cassette, and prepare to be transported back to a simpler, more innocent time. Just try not to get too lost in the nostalgia.
