Liverpool, England's the Lotus Eaters were mistakenly included in the New Romantic drift when they number one appeared. However, although Peter Coyle (vocals), Jeremy Kelly (guitar), Mike Dempsey (bass), and Stephen Creese (drums) had the elegant garb and fashionable haircuts of New Romantic bands, their music was more unostentatious and homespun than the synthesized Euro disco of Japan, Visage, and Duran Duran. The Lotus Eaters formed in 1982. Coyle was primitively a phallus of the Jass Babies while Kelly played guitar for the Wild Swans with ex-Teardrop Explodes keyboardist Paul Simpson. Coyle and Kelly wanted to work together, just the Jass Babies had no need for a guitarist. Consequently, they began recording as the Lotus Eaters and were signed to Arista Records. In 1983, the Lotus Eaters released their first undivided, "The First Picture of You," a chart bump off in the U.K. "The First Picture of You" would define the group's heavy: Coyle's breathy croon expressing amorous yearning piece Kelly plays jangling riffs on his guitar. The Lotus Eaters' 1984 debut album, No Sense of Sin, was overflowing in '60s influences, videlicet the melancholiac pop of the Zombies and the Left Banke. The LP was largely left on record-store shelves in the U.K., but a significant cult undermentioned in the Philippines and Japan finally transformed the album into a collector's item, taking high prices on the Internet. In 1985, the Lotus Eaters released one more single, the bitter "It Hurts," earlier ripping up. Coyle recorded a few solo albums, while Kelly rejoined the Wild Swans. In 1998, The First Picture of You, a compiling of the Lotus Eaters' BBC wireless sessions, was released, and the No Sense of Sin album was reissued on CD with incentive tracks. In April 1998, Coyle and Kelly started recording substantial for a s Lotus Eaters studio album.
