Lush: Spooky (LP/2023 remaster) LP

With a few EPs and a mini-album (Scar) having set the scene, Spooky is Lush’s 1992 debut studio album. A key text for British indie music at the turn of a decade, it was produced by label mate Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and features the singles ‘Nothing Natural’, ‘For Love’ and ‘Superblast!’.

“(Lush) set a template for the kind of wistful musings that shoegaze became known for. Their incantations are only frightening in how wonderful they are.”
