NEW VINYL LP ON EAR MUSIC 2019

180 GRAM VINYL.

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 tack: Guesswork is predominantly an electronic album. Lloyd, Blair Cowan and another longtime Lloyd associate Fred Maher (drummer on Lloyds early solo albums and his last album 2013s 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. Lloyds ear for a melody, his lyrical smarts, and his unmistakable voice ensure these songs stand shoulder to shoulder with anything he has previously written.
