Our Take

LLOYD COLE & THE COMMOTIONS' compilation album "The Singles" is a retrospective journey through the band's quirky, yet often overlooked, discography. Full of jangly guitar riffs and Cole's distinctive vocals, this collection is a must-have for any fan of 80s alternative rock.

From the upbeat pop vibes of "Perfect Skin" to the melancholic balladry of "Forest Fire," each track on this album showcases the band's knack for crafting catchy, heartfelt tunes. The infectious hooks and clever lyrics are sure to have you singing along in no time.

But what really sets this album apart is the band's ability to blend seemingly disparate elements into a cohesive sound. Whether it's the blending of folk and punk on "Lost Weekend" or the marriage of country and rock on "Rattlesnakes," Lloyd Cole & The Commotions prove that they are masters of genre-bending.

Overall, "The Singles" is a solid collection that serves as a great introduction to the band's work. While it may not have the same cultural impact as some of their contemporaries, it's definitely worth a listen for anyone looking to dive into the lesser-known corners of 80s indie rock. So grab your headphones, press play, and let Lloyd Cole & The Commotions take you on a nostalgic ride through their underrated discography.

About the artist

Lloyd Cole and The Commotions

Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions burst onto the music scene in the 1980s with their distinctive blend of jangly guitar pop and literate lyrics. Led by the enigmatic frontman Lloyd Cole, the band quickly gained a devoted following with their debut album "Rattlesnakes" in 1984. With his signature deep baritone vocals and sharp wit, Cole crafted songs that were both introspective and catchy, earning comparisons to the likes of Elvis Costello and The Smiths. The band's second album, "Easy Pieces" continued their winning streak, showcasing their knack for crafting melodic hooks and poignant storytelling. However, like many bands of the era, internal tensions and creative differences eventually led to the breakup of Lloyd Cole & The Commotions in 1987 after the release of their third album, "Mainstream". Despite their relatively short-lived career, the band left a lasting impact on the indie music scene, influencing a generation of musicians with their intelligent songwriting and infectious melodies. In the years since the band's dissolution, Lloyd Cole has continued to release music as a solo artist, exploring different musical styles and collaborating with a variety of artists. With his distinctive voice and timeless songwriting, Cole remains a beloved figure in the world of music, proving that true talent never goes out of style. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of Lloyd Cole & The Commotions or just discovering their music for the first time, one thing is certain - their songs will stay with you long after the record stops spinning.
