Robert Lloyd’s career is defined by an unsettled edge, from The Prefects and early Nightingales to four decades of acclaimed, if niche, work. Four Against Fate stands out as the finest work from the band’s longest-serving lineup, showcasing tight, intuitive interplay and musical originality. With every member contributing vocals and an exceptional blend of instruments—including violin and double bass—the album delivers powerful, distinctive songs like “The Desperate Quartet” and highlights such as “The Top Shelf” and “Devil’s Due.” Lloyd calls it his first album he listens to in full without skipping a track.
