∞“Graham Bendel writes a love letter to 90s shoegazers Lush, and in the process wonders if they were better, in fact, than My Bloody Valentine…” (via The Quietus)
Their early run of EPs still amaze me to this day. Truly a band that never got a fair chance, dismissed by most of the music press as shoegaze also-rans from the outset. I always got a whiff of sexism in the dismissive way they were treated as ‘pretty girls who need Robin Guthrie to sound good’.
I can certainly say their late-era work does not stand up to the consistent quality of the early releases, but that is no reason to ignore the transcendent beauty of the Mad Love, Scar, and Sweetness & Light EPs, and debut album Spooky.
it must have been art (but it´s over now)
