Oggi Lloyd Cole pubblica “Warm By The Fire”, il primo singolo del suo nuovo album “On Pain” che uscirà il 23 giugno via earMUSIC. Sarà stato ispirato agli enormi incendi che hanno attraversato la California prima della pandemia? Dagli avvertimenti sulla crisi climatica di Greta Thunberg? Cole non lo dice. Riecheggiando lontanamente sentimenti emotivi di una delle sue prime composizioni chiave, “Warm By The Fire” sembra un’opera di JG Ballard in miniatura. “Warm By The Fire” è stata scritta da Lloyd e prodotto da Chris Merrick Hughes. Lloyd ha già pubblicato una selezione di mix della canzone conclusiva dell’album “Wolves”.
Dice Lloyd: “Sure, it could be a Ballard story, or it could be a discarded script. It could be a VR game the protagonist is immersed in. It could be happening, it could happen, but maybe it isn’t. Maybe it won’t.”
