S4E2 - Lloyd Cole (& the Commotions)

from Long Way to the Top · host Shayne Brian

As the frontman of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, Lloyd burst onto the scene in the mid-80s with a sound that blended jangly guitar pop with deeply intelligent, often cinematic lyricism. Songs like Rattlesnakes, Perfect Skin, and Lost Weekend didn’t just stand out on radio… they painted pictures. They made you lean in. They made you think. But Lloyd Cole was never interested in standing still. From Glasgow to New York, from band life to a fiercely independent solo career, he’s continued to evolve, releasing music on his own terms, exploring everything from stripped-back acoustic records to more experimental, electronic textures. Now, he’s heading back to Australia, bringing that incredible catalogue with him, along with the stories, the perspective, and the songs that have stood the test of time.Enjoy Long Way to the Top with Lloyd Cole.  For all the concert details visit - https://www.destroyalllines.com/tours/lloydcole Hit plus or follow to subscribe to the podcast.
