Built around the songwriting talents of Emma Anderson and Miki Berenyi, Lush successfully defined a myriad of 90s scenes such as shoegaze, dream pop and Britpop before they disbanded in 1998. A much-loved band who briefly reformed in 2016, recent years has seen a new, young audience fall in love with their music after discovering it via TikTok, Spotify et al. And outside of a lavish Record Store Day career retrospective boxset in 2016, all three studio albums – 'Spooky' (1992), 'Split' (1994) and 'Lovelife' (1996) – have been unavailable on vinyl since the 90s.
With demand high, the band have been working with renowned engineer / producer Kevin Vanbergen to help them remaster their catalogue, starting with their studio albums. Using the original ½” production tapes for source material, Kevin has painstakingly worked on them to create brand new, stunning 24-bit masters that perfectly capture the thrill of the originals. They’ve never sounded so good.
Featuring the singles “Desire Lines” and “Hypocrite,” 'Split' is the second full studio album by Lush, originally released in June 1994. 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' sees the band hit a more direct sound whilst retaining their almost pitch-black feel.
