4AD Reveals New LUSH Site
4AD has just launched their own full-blown Lush site (not to be confused with the band's own site), detailing the bands history on the label, pre-2015 of course, beginning with a nice intro of where the band is today. There's even a mention of Emma stating that the next album(!) will be more rehearsed than 'Blindspot' is when it was recorded. All is told with the first person accounts of Miki, Emma and Phil, and additional details provided by former band mates Meriel Barnham and Steve Rippon and the very fitting tribute to Chris Acland and his importance to Lush are much appreciated.

LUSH's Low Key Comeback :: Louder Than War Review
Lush : low key comeback gig : live review - Louder Than War:
Yet despite the vintage of 95% of the set this didn't feel like nostalgia, this was a reborn band that feels like it has new things to say.
“No red hair – get over it!”
And with that and perfect set opener ‘De Luxe’ Lush rebirthed before our very eyes and ears and 20 years vanished in a whirlwind of singing strings.
