# ***"Lush" Biography***

One of the first bands to have been described with the *"shoegazing"* label, were an English alternative band formed in ***[London](https://cutt.ly/GQCIBch)*** in 1987. The original ***“Lush”*** line-up consisted of ***[Miki Berenyi](https://cutt.ly/4QCI0hj)*** (vocals, guitar), ***[Emma Anderson](https://cutt.ly/pQCI94G)*** (vocals, guitar), ***[Steve Rippon](https://cutt.ly/5QCObEV)*** (bass) and ***[Chris Acland](https://cutt.ly/aQCI4A2)*** (drums).
***[Phil King](https://cutt.ly/gQCOh1X)*** replaced ***Rippon*** in 1991. ***Meriel Barham***, the original lead vocalist left almost immediately, eventually joining ***“[Pale Saints](https://cutt.ly/NQC1jGo)”***. When a replacement could not be found, guitarist ***Miki*** stepped up to the mic.
The band, initially named the ***"Baby Machines"***, were inspired by the garage rock scene of the ***"[Nuggets](https://cutt.ly/hQC0sUW)”*** series", ***"[Cocteau Twins](https://cutt.ly/bQC0hPF)"***, ***"[Siouxsie and the Banshees](https://cutt.ly/cQC0c8G)"***, the ***"[Beach Boys](https://cutt.ly/bQC0S95)"*** and the ***''[Byrds](https://cutt.ly/hQC0G0V)``***.

By the time of their final album, 1996's ***"[Lovelife](https://cutt.ly/nQBKh2r)"***, they had converted themselves into a power pop band with dream pop overtones, which resulted in the greatest chart success of their career. That success was dealt a blow when drummer ***Chris Acland*** committed suicide in the fall of 1996, effectively bringing the band to an end.

On paper the ***[Guthrie](https://cutt.ly/uQM3S4g)***/***Lush*** collaboration seems like a match made in heaven; however, this lacks a punch and balance that begins to frustrate by the latter half.

> As with much of the band's early material, on band’s second album ***“Spooky”*** guitars dart and veer all over hell's half acre - just as you hear a gentle strum in one ear, another guitar whisks by like an overhead jet, only to be grounded to a halt by a swollen jolt from some netherworld.

> Shortly after the release of their debut album, ***“Spooky”***, ***“Lush”*** were invited to play ***[Lollapalooza's](https://cutt.ly/wQBJJsH)*** mainstage by ***[Perry Farrell](https://cutt.ly/NQBJLPJ)*** himself. It helped the London quartet break through stateside, but was still a less-than-likely festival booking - because, unlike other rock records of the early 1990s, “Spooky” doesn't rely on blistering noise to make its points. Its brilliant intricacies remain best appreciated alone, through headphones, and preferably in a room where long shadows creep onto the walls.

# ***The Song Info***

***“Superblast!”*** is the seventh song from ***Lush's*** first album ***“[Spooky](https://cutt.ly/xQBKoCu)”***, released on 27 January 1992 by ***“[4AD](https://cutt.ly/WQBpAgw)”***. The album, produced by ***Robin Guthrie (“Cocteau Twins”)***, followed the band's debut mini album, ***“[Scar](https://cutt.ly/5QBJjwP)”*** (1989), several extended play releases, and the compilation album ***“Gala”*** (1990).
