Standards (Lloyd Cole album)

Standards is a rock album by English singer, songwriter and musician Lloyd Cole released on 21 June 2013 by Tapete Records. It is Cole's tenth solo album under his own name, although only his second since 1995 to feature a full band of additional musicians.

Cole produced the album himself with additional mixing by Olaf Opal and Joerg Siegeler.

Background

Cole says that he was inspired by the energy and vibrancy of Bob Dylan's album Tempest, which surprised him considering Dylan's age. Cole said:

The album is also notable for its emphasis on electric guitar; Cole had established himself as an acoustic and folk musician through his most recent studio releases and touring predominantly as solo performer with an acoustic guitar.

The band assembled by Cole includes, among others, the rhythm section from his debut self-titled solo album (1990) and his follow up 'Don't Get Weird on Me Babe' (1991) in the form of drummer Fred Maher and bassist Matthew Sweet. Blair Cowan a former member of the Commotions plays keyboards and Joan Wasser plays piano and supplies additional vocals. Cole's own son William plays guitar on the album including a solo on the track 'It's Late'. William also appeared in the video for the song 'Period Piece'.
