Lloyd Cole: Cool-cut
Simon Reynolds, Observer, The, February 1990
Two years ago, Lloyd Cole folded his band, The Commotions, after six years, a bunch of hit singles and three solidly successful albums (Rattlesnakes, Easy Pieces and Mainstream) and went into exile in New York. Now he has re-emerged with a solo album, Lloyd Cole.
