The Profile

British new wave duo centered on Peter Coyle and Jerry Kelly, best known for the 1984 debut album No Sense Of Sin and the single The First Picture Of You.

The single "The First Picture Of You" received wide radio play in Europe. Michael Dempsey (ex-The Cure) played bass on some tracks of No Sense Of Sin. Reviews describe the band as romantic and dreamy, with strong lead vocals and guitar.

Two DeBaser reviews remember The Lotus Eaters as a romantic, dreamy British new wave group centered on Peter Coyle and Jerry Kelly. Their 1984 debut No Sense Of Sin and the single The First Picture Of You are repeatedly praised. Reviews note strong songs and moments of limitation; later releases (Silentspace) are seen as inferior to the debut.

Notable Quotes

❝ Then comes the masterpiece of the album: "The First Picture Of You" with acoustic guitar played in fingerpicking style and Coyle's voice never more inspired.
❝ The Lotus Eaters, a very particular group from the '80s, very young guys, calm, romantic, with good energy and prospects for the future, which they did not exploit and cultivate, thus stopping at just one album.
