Lloyd Cole

The British singer-songwriter has been an industry staple since the mid-’80s, when his band, the Commotions, made its acclaimed debut with “Rattlesnakes.”

Cole embarked on a solo career around 1990 and released his most recent effort, “Standards,” last fall in the U.S. (it arrived in his homeland in 2013). The album is notable for featuring a heavier dose of electric guitar — a bit of a shift for the acoustic-rooted musician — and includes bass playing from his old buddy Matthew Sweet.
