Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released on June 13, 2013, 'Standards' is Lloyd Cole's first album in over a decade, following his previous work 'Antidepressant' from 2006. At this point in his career, Cole was exploring a more intimate sound landscape, moving away from the polished production of his earlier releases to embrace a simpler, more personal approach.
