  • Dusting 'Em Off: Lush – Lovelife
    Dusting ‘Em Off: Lush – Lovelife consequenceofsound.net/2012/04/dusting-em-off-lush-lovelife/ 4/28/2012 Lush’s third and final album, Lovelife, turns 16 this year. A sixteenth birthday is admittedly an unusual time to revisit an album, as tradition dictates that such occasions be reserved for anniversaries divisible by five, but Lovelife is one of those albums that has and will likely continue to remain uncelebrated and forgotten on its milestone anniversaries. Sure, Lush still retains a dedicated, loyal following and continues to gain new fans, but how often do they appear in critics’ “top albums and songs of the ’90s” lists? Not often enough. One of the guarantees in the world of music journalism is that any discussion of the history and relevance of 1/3 shoegaze will inevitably focus on how Cocteau Twins and The Jesus and Mary Chain pioneered the shimmering style, while My Bloody Valentine perfected it. Sometimes, Slowdive and Ride will be included, but Lush will likely earn a passing reference at best. Despite generally positive reviews and a commercial viability that found the London quartet playing television shows everywhere and successfully touring American cities other British bands of the ’90s never dared to tread, Lush has seemingly been forgotten or omitted for consideration as one of the shoegaze greats. This diminished legacy is at least partly because Lovelife is when Lush allegedly “went pop.” “Ladykillers” opens Lovelife with an attention-seizing circular melody and spunky vocals from Miki Berenyi that are no longer floating along in a sea of reverb. Confidently at the forefront, Berenyi eviscerates Anthony Kiedis, Matt Sharp, and men with transparent agendas and dubious attitudes towards women everywhere with an infectiously sarcastic wit.

  • S New Albums Reviewed
    A Different Kind Of Racket: June/July’s New Albums Reviewed Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world I was watching Wimbledon the other day when I came to the startling realisation that tennis is boring. Hoping that all it might need was a good soundtrack, I reduced the volume on the telly, replacing it with the morose musings of Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain. Much Better! Experiencing yet another epiphany I turned the TV off altogether, allowing the Reid brothers the attention they fully deserve. By JOHN BITTLES The following albums may not reach the hallowed heights of The JAMC, but they will entertain you a lot more than a couple of posh boys hitting a ball really hard ever could. So, get yourself some Pimms, a bowl of strawberries and cream, and let us begin. To prove my point we’ll start with the rich, woozy pop experiments of Helsinki-based singer/producer Jaakko Eino Kalevi and his rather wonderful self-titled debut LP. Taking the fuggy haze of modern psychedelia and injecting it with a generous helping of pop hooks and a sensuous sense of groove helps create one of the outstanding albums of the summer. Laid-back, dreamy and always charming, the record’s ten tracks touch on funk, electronica, chill-wave, indie, rock and more. Deeper Shadows contains a loose bassline to die for, Jek is a slow, languid jam, while Don’t Ask Me Why should be in the dictionary under the definition of cool. With Jaakko’s treated falsetto quite low in the mix, the record hits the listener like an aural wave, seducing them quietly but surely until all resistance is swept away.

  • Kevin Shields the Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North
    Buddyhead | http://www.buddyhead.com/music/kevinshields/ 19 Jan 2005 Kevin Shields The Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North The Icarus Line got to play with Primal Scream was in New York, and TI have to admit I was slightly disappointed at the time, because Kevin Shields wasn’t performing at the show. The word was that Kevin had to be at his brother’s wedding instead. It definitely added to the myth that I, and many other people as well, had built into our heads that Mr. Shields was some kind of mysterious recluse whose appearances could never be bargained on. The story of Kevin’s band My Bloody Valentine, and their demise, has up to this point sounded closer to folklore than something that happened less than a decade ago. Like a twisted version of the game “telephone”, My Bloody Valentine fans have perpetuated the tallest of tales ranging from master tapes of unreleased albums being set afire, to band reunions in far dark warehouses in Berlin. When The Icarus Line had the opportunity of again opening for Primal Scream, it would be a tour with them across the United Kingdom. When we encountered the band soundchecking on the first day in Glasgow, it occurred to me while I stared at them onstage, that between Kevin’s time in My Bloody Valentine, Mani’s in The Stone Roses, and even Bobby’s stint in The Jesus and Mary Chain, not to mention The Scream themselves, I was witnessing the composers of a good portion of my record collection back home.

    Lush - Miki Berenyi and Emma Anderson on 1996 Album “Lovelife” and the Last Days of the Band undertheradarmag.com /interviews/lush_- _miki_berenyi_and_emma_anderson_on_1996_album_lovelife_and_the_last_d/ "Lush was so tied up with Chris, and without him, it's just really, really difficult to consider [a reunion]." - Miki Berenyi Apr 28, 2015 By Frank Valish Issue #51 - September/October 2014 - alt-J The year was 1996. Lush had released its third full-length album, Lovelife. Although their shoegaze-crossed-with- pop songwriting never truly fit into Britain's chart-centric musical atmosphere, the band was finally getting its due, with Lovelife cracking the Top 10 on Britain's album charts and spawning three charting singles, "Single Girl," "Ladykiller," and "500 (Shake Baby Shake)." The band was in demand for concerts across the U.S. and Europe. On the surface, it seemed like things couldn't get any better. But within a year, it would all be over. 1/4 Lush formed in London in 1988, fronted by school friends Emma Anderson (guitars/vocals) and Miki Berenyi (vocals/guitars), along with Chris Acland (drums) and Steve Rippon (bass). After releasing a series of EPs that garnered Lush attention in the U.K., including 1990 cover stories for both Melody Maker and NME, Rippon left and was replaced by Philip King just prior to the release of the band's full-length debut. Spooky, released in 1992, was an album that showcased the dream-pop soundscapes and ethereal melodies of the band's two frontwomen and propelled Lush to recognition in America with a gig on 1992's Lollapalooza festival.
