Album Notes

Laurence "Lol" Tolhurst was born on the Third of February 1959, years later he would discover that it was the very day that Buddy Holly passed on...

...five years later two little boys at their first day of school would meet...

Lol Tolhurst and Robert Smith would start on a journey that would take them to the very pinnacle of musical success. In adolescence, Lol and Robert discovered that they shared a similar vision to form a group like the ones that influenced them. This simple inspiration would create one of the most influential, critically acclaimed and commercially successful groups of modern times: The Cure. From 1978 onwards, Lol and The Cure would chart an impressive selection of achievements.

Now, fast forward into the 21st century. With The Cure's influence on artists growing in greater proportions in recent years, Lol dove headfirst back into the studio in 2002 with his new project: Levinhurst. A suave, exotic group comprised of Lol's keyboards, beats, and sonic landscaping against the stirring vocals of Cindy Levinson, the group met critical acclaim with their 2004 debut ‘Perfect Life’. It covered a much wider musical range than most electro artists attempt to fill, and pleased Cure fans and electronic music junkies alike.

Spring 2007 will bring the new album ‘House By The Sea’, a dark brooding album in every sense of the word that has already been called the Electronic version of the classic Cure record, ‘Pornography’.

Says Lol, "Our latest music connects me to my past, present, and future in ways that I used to only dream about. There's so much of my spirit in ‘House By The Sea’, it's easily my most personal work I've ever created. It's also some of my proudest moments as a musician."
