England-born singer Lloyd Cole’s (Lloyd_Cole) latest album, ‘On Pain,’ is a confident, cohesive album. Read our review here:
Lloyd Cole has been dabbling with synthesizers for a while now, but it came as a surprise when he merged his electronic experimentation with pop songcraft on his 2019 album. Once known for a jangly guitar-based pop sound in the ’80s with his band the Commotions, Cole moved toward alt-rock and, then, a quieter singer/songwriter vibe as a solo artist in the 1990s and 2000s. His 2015 album, Cole added electronic elements to songs after the fact.
Some of the tracks here develop slowly: “More of What You Are” starts with a low, burbling synth that kicks into gear on the chorus with a steady beat and a subtly catchy melody that Cole sings in smooth, warm tones. He imagines moving away from a hectic life in Los Angeles to a more tempered existence full of galleries and cafes in Berlin. Others undergo more pronounced shifts.
