Introduction to Lush



Lush were two very talented songwriters, Miki Berenyi (lead singer, guitar) and Emma Anderson (backing vocals, Guitar) Phil King (Bass) and the very special late Drummer Chris Acland.

They were one of the most unique bands from the 90s and they were the very first band that I got into seriously. When I discovered Lush, on a random whim of genre research on the tag "Shoegaze", I fell in love instantly and you just might as well if you have never heard about them until now and you are already finding this introduction artist passage intriguing.

Without further ado, here are some great songs/music videos by Lush that will get you screaming and falling off your chair in big excitement!

First off, here is For love from their second album Spooky 1992 (produced by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins!..

Also from their 1992 album, I bring you one hell of a fantastic shoegaze rocker tune, Superblast!..

Now for something sweet and pretty, Sweetness and light from their first album Gala 1990 (a collection of previously released EP tracks)..

I could go on all night with this wonderful band but I'll just stop now and share one last great song that is probably their best song that they ever did!

Desire lines from Split 1994..
