One-for-the-Playlist: No.5 - LUSH

NEW feature detailing highly recommended hidden gems, forgotten album tracks, and one hit wonders from past to present.

WHO?       Lush
WHEN?      Nineties
WHAT?     Female-fronted band who did an obligatory Britpop record in 1996 but started out as far more interesting shoegazers
WHICH?    'Superblast' from Spooky
WHY?        Faithful reproduction of the My Bloody Valentine blueprint (sweet female harmonies + barely audible drums + guitar noise) given a punkier kick up the backside
WHERE?    www.last.fm/music/Lush/_/Superblast!; Spotify
