Lloyd Cole, who now works from a studio at his home in the US, is embarking on a brand new tourand particularly the bands who jangled from the rehearsal rooms of Glasgow to the multi-coloured graphics and balloons of Top of the Pops.
Perhaps the most brooding of these was Lloyd Cole. And perhaps, out of all the bands, the Commotions summoned up the spirit of Byres Road and the polo-neck wearing, Gauloise-smoking students who shared a pint after lectures. “There was a point where we had some success. I think we were C+ famous, B-list at best, but when I would go out in Glasgow people would either want to fight me or f*** me, so I moved to London, but it was a mistake. That really wasn’t for me.”
“It would be difficult to come in at my level now,” he says. “That middle ground. Even though this is a twelfth solo album, the value given to recordings has been disappearing. For the past 30 years of my solo career, I have gone from larger halls to being almost invisible to this tour where I’m back in the larger venues.”
“My son William, who works in real estate, told me that he had seen a copy of Easy Pieces in a property. I said they must be a middle-aged couple, but no, the guy who owned it was 25.”
