English born singer/songwriter Lloyd Cole ‘s cuttingly literate lyrics, unabashedly romantic stance, and knack for melodies both simple and ornate form a solid base for his frequent genre shifts. Starting off fronting the Commotions and delivering some of the ’80s most iconic jangle pop songs — like “Perfect Skin” and the quintessential Rattlesnakes album — Cole soon undertook a solo career that didn’t stay in one place for long. He went from straightforward rock on 1990’s self-titled album to lushly orchestrated pop on 1991’s Don’t Get Weird on Me Babe ; he swerved into jangle pop on 1995’s Love Story , then he settled down to make country rock-inspired music for a time before delving into electronics for a record of duets with Hans-Joachim Roedelius on 2013’s Selected Studies, Vol. 1 . Albums made in the wake of this newfound interest, like 2023’s On Pain , merged the warm songcraft of earlier work with the colder textures of electronic pop.
