Emma Anderson (Lush) Announces Debut LP

It seems weird that someone with the pedigree of Emma Anderson is just now releasing her debut solo record, but seeing as I love those Lush records, I’ll gladly spend some time with a songwriter I feel like a lot of folks have overlooked. According to the press release, it seems Emma has been sitting with a lot of these songs since the reformation of Lush, but it took some encouragement for her to take them up again as a solo artist. Honestly, this seems like it fits perfectly into the climate of the current times; the texture alone feels like its carefully lifting Emma’s voice into the listener’s ears, filling in everything behind the careful jangle and churns of guitar. It’s crazy too, as this just feels timeless in a sense, like its rooted in nostalgia, yet updated to meet the masses in the middle. Sonic Cathedral will release Pearlies this October.
