Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions
Released in 1984, Rattlesnakes is a literary journey wrapped in melody; a collection of songs that transformed pop music's intellectual landscape. Lloyd Cole’s lyrics are laced with cultural references, wry humor, and a deep sense of longing, offering vignettes of characters and moments that feel cinematic in their detail. The result is an album that becomes a meditation on intellectual and emotional experience, challenging our expectations of pop music.
