"The wait is over. All three studio albums by Lush are back in print on vinyl. Featuring the singles ‘Desire Lines’ and ‘Hypocrite’, Split is the second full studio album by Lush. Produced by Mike Hedges - famed for his work on The Cure’s Seventeen Seconds & Siouxsie and the Banshees’s A Kiss in the Dreamhouse – and mixed by Alan Moulder, Split sees the band hit a poppier sound whilst retaining their almost pitch-black feel. Built around the songwriting talents of Emma Anderson and Miki Berenyi, Lush successfully defined a myriad of 90s scenes such as shoegaze, dream pop and Britpop before they disbanded in 1998. A much-loved band who briefly reformed in 2016, recent years has seen a new, young audience fall in love with their music after discovering it via TikTok, Spotify et al. And outside of a lavish career retrospective boxset in 2016, all three studio albums – Spooky (1992), Split (1994) and Lovelife (1996) – have been unavailable on vinyl since the 90s. Famously working with 4AD’s inhouse designers v23 on every release, album art has always been central to Lush’s appeal too, and this repress comes housed in its original design." - 4AD 1994 sophomore album from revered shoegaze/dreampop band Lush black vinyl pressing first-ever standalone vinyl reissue remastered from the original analog tapes original release year: 1994 music label: 4AD 2023
