Lloyd Cole Announces UK Gigs

Following a warm response to the release of his Sanctuary Records album Antidepressant late last year and the tour dates that followed, Lloyd Cole will perform at a brief run of solo shows in the UK next week.

Lloyd Cole will perform at the Arts Theatre, London, on January 24th and 25th before playing at the City Halls, Glasgow as part of the Celtic Connections festival on January 26th.

Tickets for the gigs are priced at £15 for Glasgow and £21 for London. With Chris Hughes (Tears For Fears) on board as executive producer and Mick Glossop on mixing duties, Antidepressant was rated as a "superb new album" by the Sunday Mail. The literate pop of New York City Sunshine and How Wrong Can You Be are certainly on a par with Cole's previous hits such as Perfect Skin, Brand New Friend and Lost Weekend.

"It's definitely a little bit perkier than the last few records I've done," he commented. "It's not really a rock record, but it's not as laidback as I would have expected. It has elements of when I was part of a band, and of pure folk. It's very much my sound."
