Our Take

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions' debut album, "Rattlesnakes," is a charming blend of jangly guitars, wistful lyrics, and a healthy dose of 80s nostalgia. Cole's distinctive vocals ooze with a nonchalant coolness, perfectly complementing the band's thoughtful arrangements.

The album kicks off with the infectious title track, "Rattlesnakes," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The catchy chorus and shimmering guitars make it an instant classic, while the lyrics paint a vivid picture of love and betrayal in the big city.

Tracks like "Perfect Skin" and "Forest Fire" showcase Cole's knack for crafting sophisticated pop gems, with their intricate melodies and poetic lyrics. The band's tight musicianship shines through on every track, with each member adding their own unique flair to the mix.

Despite the album's upbeat sound, there's a tinge of melancholy that runs through the lyrics, creating a sense of emotional depth that sets "Rattlesnakes" apart from your average 80s pop album. Cole's introspective songwriting elevates the album to a higher level, making it a timeless classic that still resonates with listeners today.

In conclusion, "Rattlesnakes" is a must-listen for fans of 80s indie pop and anyone looking for a dose of nostalgia. Lloyd Cole and the Commotions have crafted a near-perfect debut album that remains as fresh and captivating as the day it was released. So grab a glass of wine, put on your best pair of sunglasses, and let "Rattlesnakes" take you on a musical journey back to the glory days of 80s pop. Cheers!
