Lush Lovelife Zip

Although they produced three of the Britpop era’s best-loved singles – Ladykillers, the sublime 500 (you know the one: “shake baby, shake”) and Single Girl, all of which feature here – Lush’s first two albums were firmly entrenched in shoegaze territories, more Slowdive than Sleeper.

Lush were an English rock band formed in London in 1987. The original line-up consisted of Miki Berenyi (vocals, guitar), Emma Anderson (vocals, guitar), Steve Rippon (bass) and Chris Acland (drums). Phil King replaced Rippon in 1991. They were one of the first bands to have been described with the 'shoegazing' label.Following the death of Acland, the group disbanded in 1996.

1996’s Lovelife, their third album, marked a shift in sound, from shimmering introspection to confidently upbeat indie and sparkling, hook-laden pop. But while the melodies became catchier the four-piece didn’t compromise their integrity, and this album represents no cynical pursuit of the pounds and pence that stacked up around Britpop’s finest acts (and, depressingly, many of its less-than-brilliant ones). Compared to albums of the time from the likes of Cast, Menswear and Shed Seven, all of which have dated terribly, Lovelife stands up well to contemporary scrutiny. It exudes a quality that, while not timeless, will remain obvious for some years yet.

There are several signs of its year of origin evident throughout its 12 tracks – scene idol Jarvis Cocker descends from his lofty perch above the wannabe pack to duet with singer Miki Berenyi on Ciao! (also the title of 2001’s greatest hits set) – but notable diversions from the Britpop path can cause a lump to swell in the throat. Papasan is a stripped-bare affair, the interwoven voices of Berenyi and Emma Anderson truly raising the hairs, and Tralala is the atmospheric opposite of its onomatopoeically jolly title, a downbeat delight.

Of course, Ladykillers and 500 are the hits, and evoke memories of teenage days where all possibilities seemed achievable, where one’s future wasn’t written by forefathers or schooling limitations. Lotr bfme 2 rotwk iso. But nostalgia only elevates Lovelife so far – it’s the accomplished songwriting on show that ensures it should be as celebrated today as it was back when. It’s a true tragedy that the band’s upward trajectory was so dramatically halted in October 1996, when drummer Chris Acland committed suicide. Despite trying to soldier on, the band officially split in 1998.

An album tinged with a sense of sadness that didn’t appear quite so significant at the time of its original release, Lovelife is a bittersweet collection of songs crafted so well in the first place that they’ve effectively withstood the ravages of time. And those singles, with their sing-or-shout-along choruses, rightfully remain indie-club classics to this day.

Select's Roy Wilkinson gave the album a negative review, describing it as 'mid-paced stuff, fitting between melancholy and listlessness'.[6] The review went on to state, 'There's nothing wrong with a dose of heavyweight introspection per se. But a pretty deft touch is needed to translate it movingly to the recording studio'.[6]

In a retrospective review, Andy Kellman, writing for AllMusic, was far more positive: 'Split touches on most forms of emotional turbulence. A legitimizing stunner, the record prevented the band from being lost amidst the bunker of form-over-function dream pop bands. Split shattered every negative aspect of those failed acts with flying colors. A fantastic record within any realm.'[1] In 2018, Pitchfork ranked the album at number 27 on its list of 'The 30 Best Dream Pop Albums'.[7]
