For a non-single, Lush’s “Sunbathing” has had a few more versions than one might expect. Well, two. Which is two more than the zero I would have thought. An Emma Anderson composition, the song featured Miki Berenyi on lead vocals and originally appeared on Sweetness & Light, their second EP of 1990, and was compiled […]
Let’s land the wayback machine in 1990, and look at the first video – or videos – from Lush. They released their debut mini-album Scar in July of 1989 and despite it being well-receieved, they didn’t record any promotional videos for it.

Former Lush frontwoman (and current Piroshka frontwoman) Miki Berenyi has been in the news the last little while not for anything she’s done musically – the last Piroshka record Love Drips and Gathers came out in Summer of 2021 – but for her written recollections of what she’s done musically.

I’d actually never seen this vid nor the original single art before putting this post together, so we’ll […]
