The Verge Playlist: Lush
Author:
Lush were a British band from 1987 to 1996. Their first full length album, Spooky, is the subject of The Classics this week. The playlist below spans their entire career, which included three albums, several EPs, a greatest hits collection, and a lot of B-sides, collected in 1996. Three songs on the playlist are covers, something Lush excelled at by making songs their own without destroying their original tone: Abba’s “Hey Hey Helen,” Wire’s “Outdoor Miner,” and Dennis Wilson’s “Fallin’ In Love.” Enjoy.
