Lush

[marilynroxie]

This was actually the first Britpop-associated band I got into (slightly before Blur - I'd heard Oasis since that's the only one of any of these that had mainstream popularity in America, but, er...that ship has sailed ), and it was because of someone posting an mp3 somewhere on a message board awhile back. They're more shoegaze/dream-pop, I think, though they turned more Britpop on their last album Lovelife (where Jarvis Cocker does a duet with Miki on "Ciao!").

Ciao! 1989-1996 is the compilation I started with - I have everything of theirs now, though!

Ahh yeah I've heard a lot about them but haven't gotten around to listening to them much yet! Thanks for this post, I just watched the video - lovely! =)

Speaking of the duet with Jarvis, I've actually been looking all over for that song/the album that has it (living in America, it's hard to find anything of theirs), so if anyone knows where one could hear it, I would be much obliged

Oooh, Lush! I've only got Lovelife and that was passed on to me from my brother, yey. They're a band that I'd really, really like to hear more of--more than one album and two songs--but I've just not gotten 'round to it. XP (Oh...and as "Ciao" is on that album, I can pass it along. ;D)

That would be much appreciated
