On July 19, Lloyd Cole will release his 15th studio album called Guesswork. The first single is Violins and it has a surprising resemblance to OMD. The album is said to have an electronic tone to it, something quite different from what you are familiar with with The Commotions. On this album, Lloyd collaborates with former bandmates from The Commotions, guitarist Neil Clark and Blair Cowan on keyboards. This is the first time they have worked together since 1987.
