风格：Alternative Pop/Rock（另类流行/摇滚） Britpop（英伦摇滚） Dream Pop（梦幻流行） Noise Pop（噪音流行） Shoegazing（Shoegazing） 介绍：LUSH来自英国著名独立音乐大本营/唱片公司4AD。独立公司的意思是指不附庸于任何一家超级垄断唱片公司址下，完全实行自立、自主的独立操作原则；更重要的是每个独立唱片公司都有一个个性强烈的音乐指向/氛围，即其旗下的乐队/个人都有一个大概统一的音乐风格范畴；另外，这类唱片公司一般是将艺术家创作的自由度放到最大，而不会为了商业效果而去过分的约束、限制。4AD是这一领域佼佼者，它不但坚持了20年屹立不倒，不为大公司所吞并，而且始终坚持了自己独立的音乐态度。比起其他80年代末期同时崛起的英伦团体，在1998年成军，Lush的命运似乎走的特别坎坷，因为除了主唱Chris Acland后来不幸于1996年因为长期忧郁症而上吊自杀外当时的乐团的发展又因Shegazing乐派如彗星般迅速崛起,离散而让Lush的组团命运也随同大起大落,只到1998年宣布解散而结束。一般而言，Lush或许未如同乐派的My Bloody Valentine 或Ride那样受到乐评界的诸多推崇，但不可否认，身为低调厂牌4AD仙乐派主要代表乐队之一，他们对于当时的乐坛发展规律着实有其重要的贡献。有人称其为强硬派女权主义乐队，但在他们的音乐中，往往是仙乐缥缈的女声伴随着甜美的白色Guitar噪音，营造出一种异样的美感，也可以这样说，他们踩在了Cocteau Twins的肩膀上，但是比他们的前辈更进了一步。"Light from a dead star"就是他们的绝出代表作。聆听那来自星辰的梦幻灵声，已经超越了现实的空间和时间，配乐更是达到了完美的境界，已来不及区分音乐与床的不同，能带来如此美妙的梦境，堪称唯美另类的不朽之作！ 组建时间： 1988年解散时间： 1998年国籍：英国专辑：Ciao! Best Of Lush、Lovelife、Split、Spooky、Galaby Stephen Thomas ErlewineMeshing dreamy, feedback-drenched guitars with airy, catchy melodies, Lush were one of the most prominent shoegazing bands of the early 90s. Led by guitarists Miki Berenyi and Emma Anderson, the British band earned a cult following within the British and American undergrounds with its first EPs, yet the group never quite attained the critical respect given to its peers My Bloody Valentine and Ride. Even so, Lush lasted longer than any other of their contemporaries (with the exception of the Boo Radleys), developing sharp pop skills as their career progressed. By the time of their final album, 1996s Lovelife, they had converted themselves into a power pop band with dream pop overtones, which resulted in the greatest chart success of their career. Their success was dealt a blow when drummer Chris Acland committed suicide in the fall of 1996, effectively bringing the band to an end.Miki Berenyi, Emma Anderson, Chris Acland, Steve Rippon (bass), and Meriel Barham (guitar) formed Lush in 1988 in London, England. Prior to the groups formation, school friends Berenyi and Anderson had collaborated on a fanzine together, as well as played in a number of other bands individually. Anderson, who had been working as a DHSS clerical assistant, had played bass with the Rover Girls, while Berenyi had been a member of I-Goat, Fuhrer Five, and the Lillies. Berenyis then-boyfriend, Acland had previous played with several other groups as well, including Panik, Infection, and A Touch of Hysteria. Barham left Lush soon after the bands formation to form the Pale Saints, and the remaining members began playing around London, quickly earning a number of fans, including Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins. Guthrie helped the band secure a contract with 4AD Records, and they released their acclaimed debut EP, Scar, in 1989. Lush supported the EP with opening tours for Loop and the Darling Buds, and by 1990, they had graduated to headlining tours of their own. Throughout 1990, the bands reputation in the British music press began to grow as they released the acclaimed EPs Mad Love and Sweetness and Light, played high-profile gigs like the Glastonbury Festival, and became favorites of the music weeklies gossip columns. Gala, an album compiling their three EPs, became the bands first American release at the end of 1990. Lush spent most of 1991 recording their debut album, releasing the Black Spring EP in the spring. Rippon left the band during the sessions, and was replaced by Philip King, a former picture researcher for NME and a previous member of Felt, Servants, and Biff Bang Pow. Lush finally released their delayed debut album, Spooky, in the spring of 1992. While the album sold well, reaching the British Top Ten and topping the U.K. indie charts, it was criticized in the press for Guthries heavy-handed production. The band supported the album in America by appearing on the second Lollapalooza tour, but their dream pop wasnt well-received by an audience hungry for metal. Lush released their second album, Split, in the summer of 1994 to mixed reviews. Split was lost in the twin waves of Brit-pop and American post-grunge, even through the bands songwriting was more pop-oriented than ever.After regrouping during 1995, Lush returned in early 1996 with Lovelife, an album that showcased a debt to the pop-single ideals of Brit-pop. The musical changeover paid off as Single Girl and Ladykiller became their two biggest hit singles, and the album became a British Top 20 hit; in America, it was their highest-charting album, even if it just scraped the charts at 189. Lush had completed their supporting tours and summer festival appearances when Chris Acland unexpectedly hanged himself in his parents house on October 17, 1996. Devastated by his death, the remaining members of Lush went into a long period of mourning, eventually disbanding.
