The knowledge that he went on to become editor of lads mag 'Loaded' makes me take everything he says in that video with a huge pinch of salt.

I guess it was inevitable really - but out of all those guys, reformed Lush is the one I see most struggling to raise interest.

It basically comes down to: What are the new songs like?

What's the news? Is that just a new website?

I really can't process this right now because I can't run around my office screaming "WHOOOOOOOOO LUSH!" without getting fired

Really?
Anyway, hope this turns out to be yet another fantastic album from a 90s band who hasn't been together in 20 years. It's been a good year for that.

I'm into this if this is the thing that's actually happening. Remains to be seen what direction they'll take. I deeply love everything they did up to the last album, which I thought was just okay. I really like Sing-Sing, though.

Eek, this is all very exciting! I was just downloading some of their B-sides yesterday.
New album, tour and reissues would all be welcomed. I don't ask for a lot.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 21 September 2015 20:00 (eight years ago) link
I would personally fund their reunion

Yeah Philip King has been dropping thoroughly obvious photo hints on Facebook while pretending not to know what's being talked about.

one gig and some reissues? ...
― adam, Monday, 28 September 2015 12:05 (eight years ago) link
It's more Lush than we had yesterday.
― Sitting In The Ape Chair (Old Lunch), Monday, 28 September 2015 12:12 (eight years ago) link
i think LUSH were an 'on-ramp' for me and Indie rock. Pixies were too harsh and shouty for little early-teen me and as for MBV forget it. but Lush were just pop enough but just noisy enough for me to begin to 'get' the rest of it. Ride came next and then it was a solid Indie diet for god knows how many years. aw man. makes me feel all weird this, dunno why. gladdens my heart though.
― piscesx, Monday, 28 September 2015 12:14 (eight years ago) link
May next year? That's not much more Lush than we had yesterday.
Still,..
― Mark G, Monday, 28 September 2015 12:16 (eight years ago) link
Phil dropped more than enough hints about American shows recently. I'm mildly surprised this will be after Coachella and not before.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 28 September 2015 12:19 (eight years ago) link
It's not gonna happen but I wish they played some Sing-Sing as well.
― daavid, Monday, 28 September 2015 13:52 (eight years ago) link
You could rush the front and shout "Sing sing-sing", see what happens.
― Mark G, Monday, 28 September 2015 14:06 (eight years ago) link
Awful band. It's at least fitting that the shoegaze reunions are restoring the natural order of things - ie. this is the dregs coming now. First Lush, probably Revolver next.
― Position Position, Monday, 28 September 2015 14:23 (eight years ago) link
I've never heard anyone say Lush were among the dregs of shoegaze, so at least you're original.

Well this came out recently, so if the sales are good who knows?

i quite liked a couple of Revolver tunes.
hope the reunified LUSH stick to the pre-Spooky stuff most. that's the stuff that's lasted IMO. great to see Justin Welch back too.
― piscesx, Monday, 28 September 2015 17:03 (eight years ago) link
pre-spooky only? so just play the EPs?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Monday, 28 September 2015 19:04 (eight years ago) link
Revolver had some great singles
can't say the same for Lush, pretty shitty all around.
― hackshaw, Monday, 28 September 2015 19:13 (eight years ago) link
You have an odd way about you.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 28 September 2015 19:20 (eight years ago) link
xxp mm yeah pretty much. the 'Gala' EP compilation in a random order would suit me fine! i'd save Desire Lines, Cat's Chorus and Nothing Natural from a fire too but not much else from Spooky onwards.
― piscesx, Monday, 28 September 2015 20:02 (eight years ago) link
gotta love these drive-by cameos from posters gifting us their self-congratulatory opinions. odd way indeed.
― brimstead, Monday, 28 September 2015 23:21 (eight years ago) link
woah there's a 30 minute well-filmed Revolver concert right on that website
ahh the internet age..
lead guy looks like an emo Brian Jones

Oh man, I have really really REALLY mixed feelings about this reunion in particular (and reunions in general) but this thread and the assorted chip-pissing in here (even from supposed fans who are all "but they were so much better on their early stuff, before they mastered their instruments and their sound and turned up the vocals so we had to listen to their actual ~thoughts~ not vague angelic lady-cooing") just reminds me of all the misogynist battles I fought 20 years ago and don't want to retread yet again.
I'm pleased for them; the omission was glaring. But I have mixed emotions about reunions. And I can't be dealing with separating my mixed emotions just the general tiredness of having to explain to idiots why this artist was great and worthy of attention to their *entire* career and so on and blah blah ad infinitum.
― Dröhn Rock (Branwell with an N), Tuesday, 29 September 2015 08:27 (eight years ago) link
It was the one band where they had cracked it, and the world was theirs whichever way they wanted to go in.
That was the sad thing about what happened.
My take on reunions, generally, is "hey, have a great time you guys, you might never have had the chance to see them back then, and even if you did, it's better than not going and enjoying yourself, right?"
See, thanks to dodgy reformation of bands being a thing that's almost OK, I got to see the Velvet Underground in my 'local' medium sized indie-rock venue. What were the chances? None at all. So, hey - I can't knock it.

Anyone know just how limited this box set Chorus will be?

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 08:49 (eight years ago) link
Praying this won't be as expensive as the This Mortal Coil box set.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 09:18 (eight years ago) link
or as limited as the colourbox one .

This. Pretty much. I really don't understand the Lush haters. In terms of songwriting alone, they were way ahead of most of the Shoegazing lot.
