Lloyd Cole will release his new album ‘Guesswork’ on 26th July ’19 on the earMUSIC label. Recorded (mostly) in his attic studio in Massachusetts, ‘Guesswork’ is produced by Lloyd and mixed by maverick German producer Olaf Opal, with executive production from Chris Hughes. The record was mastered by Kai Blankenberg at Skyline Tonfabrik in Dusseldorf.
The full tracklisting of ‘Guesswork’ is
1. The Over Under
2. Night Sweats
3. Violins
4. Remains
5. The Afterlife
6. Moments and Whatnot
7. When I Came Down From The Mountain
8. The Loudness Wars
All songs are by Lloyd Cole apart from ‘Remains’ and ‘When I Came Down From The Mountain’, which were written by Lloyd and Blair Cowan. The album will be available on CD, vinyl, DL and streaming platforms.
Lloyd collaborated with three other musicians on ‘Guesswork’, most notable of whom are two former bandmates - guitarist Neil Clark and keyboard player Blair Cowan - who found themselves working together on an album with Lloyd for the first time since The Commotions’ swansong ‘Mainstream’ in 1987. However, anyone expecting a Commotions sound will be on the wrong track: ‘Guesswork’ is predominantly an ‘electronic’ album. Lloyd, Blair Cowan and another longtime Lloyd associate Fred Maher (drummer on Lloyd’s early solo albums and his last album 2013’s ‘Standards’) have fashioned the ‘Guesswork’ sound from classic and modern keyboard, modular and drum synthesizers, though guitars played by both Lloyd and Neil Clark do feature. Lloyd’s ear for a melody, his lyrical smarts, and his unmistakable voice ensure these songs stand shoulder to shoulder with anything he has previously written.
“I might just stop breathing
I might just stop keeping time
With the violins
Or I might come out swinging
And what if I sang out of key
With the violins?”
Violins
Says Lloyd: “When I was 27, the concept of the washed up older guy seemed very entertaining. Now I’m starting to think that old age could be a lot more fun. Because really what have we got to lose?”
The portrait of Lloyd that graces the cover of ‘Guesswork’ is by Glasgow Art School graduate and former singer of The Big Dish, Steven Lindsay.

"I don't self-love/I don't self-help/just slow, self-desecration"
That line is as relatable about getting older as someone on the edge of their 30s as it is someone on the edge of their 60s like Lloyd. For a "man on the edge of time", Lloyd's the most lyrically competent he's been, maybe ever.
Very true.
Superb song from one of the most gifted lyricist of our time, thank you Lloyd
One of the best songs you've ever written. Brilliant
Thank you for offering us this. Your best single in a while, really. Fantastic lyrics...
Absolutely fabulous, thank you, good time for you
This might be even better than "Violins". The "Everything in moderation..." verse is the lyric of the year! Simple and brilliant.
beautiful
Amazing song Lloyd!
superb Lloyd, thank you
Great tune!!!
Dal 1984, il mio cantante preferito! 🖤 Roberto from Italy 🇮🇹
Awesome
Stunning...bold but it works
God I love this song so much. Its beautiful.
It’s got a certain intelligence
Superbe!
thank you 3 rrr thats where i heard this song .
Love it, I do!
I still believe the best lyrics ever written (by anyone) to be: "I feel like a shady politician, trying to sell a broken-down car, to a sleeping virgin princess, you know that's not what you are.......do I have to feel, this small, before you play ball".
This one "N.S." is wonderful and entirely timely. Thank You! :)
Guesswork is a great album. Fave tracks: The Over Under, Violins, Moments and Whatnot & Night Sweats.
just gets better with time.
Great song.So relevant.
Throws the F Bomb in the first verse!
Great tune!
Синтетический Ллойд прекрасно слушается ! Альбом целиком пришёлся....
We might just make it....
I found this album to be masterful, spontaneously lyrical in forms and motifs that i could feel contemporaneous sympatico to. almost like we were of a brain trust sharing data . while i suspect some gimmickry was employed in topic generation or key word selection, the way he laid out certain tales (down from the mountain ) cross referenced the medical and biblical and simply self obsessed( GeN X) with awe inspiring cleverness. If you belong to Gen X and have not figured out yet that EVERYTHING was marketed to us by pre ordained criteria of selfhshness, it's a fact that lloyd has actually told you in the gorgeous "Shelf Life". We were IN FACT dubbed the Me Generation before we could even pick out our own clothes. This was because Madison Avenue used us as the first self planted crop it could harvest from birth to death after the post war explosion of capitalism and media. Every toy, every item of ephemera up to including the career of Madonna was shamelessly calculated for us. Lloyd continues this theme in Guesswork as a middle aged man trying PASSIONATELY but exhausitngly to find some self definition in his final years (not lloyd personally, the protaganist of Guesswork). Lloyd the man was gifted with a jump of about two years on his target audience and is Boomer if not first year Gen X. Thus he has an ounce of objectivity. and the wealth of cleverness that made all of us fall in love with him and his work. even his guesswork.
Just saying - Won't the first line stop this track getting crucial airplay?
RUclips is airplay... radio? That seems only to be for Ariana Grande...
Drugs are a sob!
A great song, indeed. But was anyone else getting a little worried in the first few mins. that Lloyd would slice off a finger? 8-)
This song is truly awful lol.
If you think this is "awful", would be interested in what you consider to be great! 🙄
Completely without charm
Get outta here! 🙄
He does have intelligence of a certain kind though@@egrorian1
