Lloyd Cole returns with new album in June

I have interviewed Lloyd twice in the past and always look forward to new music from him. Read below for details on his latest...

Alternative rock singer/songwriter Lloyd Cole is set to release new studio album On Pain through earMUSIC in North America on June 23. It is his 12th studio album as a solo artist and features eight new songs, four of which are co-written by former bandmates, Commotions founding members Blair Cowan and Neil Clark, who also perform on the record. The album is produced by Chris Merrick Hughes (Tears For Fears, Peter Gabriel, Adam And The Ants) and was recorded in Cole’s attic studio, The Establishment.

As a special for all fans limited and signed On Pain art prints will be made available.

Cole commented, “I’m excited to still be finding new methods, new perspectives, new sounds. The album may be nearing commercial death, but my career has been in that state for almost 30 years and here we are, still, and I still want to make albums. I still want to be heard.”

He rose to stardom as front man of British pop-rock band Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. With three albums they scored Top 10 twice and Top 20 once in the UK. All albums were certified gold and 5 of their singles were Top 40 singles in the UK.
