Description
With a few EPs and a mini-album (Scar) having set the scene, Spooky was Lush’s 1990 debut studio album. A key text for British indie music at the turn of a decade, it was produced by label mate Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and featured the singles ‘Nothing Natural’, ‘For Love’ and ‘Superblast!’.

Featuring the singles ‘Desire Lines’ and ‘Hypocrite’, Split was 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 saw the band hit a poppier sound whilst retaining their almost pitch-black feel.

Lush’s final studio album, Lovelife, landed whilst Britpop was in full swing (Jarvis Cocker even duetted with Miki on the track ‘Ciao!’), managing to fit in whilst sticking to the rules they set themselves with prior albums. Produced by Pete Bartlett (Therapy?, Kitchens of Distinction), it featured three of the band’s biggest singles in ‘Single Girl’, ‘Ladykillers’ and ‘500 (Shake Baby Shake)’.
