Piroshka, the new superband featuring Miki Berenyi, KJ McKillop (Moose), Michael Conroy (Modern English), and Justin Welch (Elastica) announced details behind their debut album and premiered new music today.
Piroshka decided to give it a go as a band in late 2016, right as Lush's reunion came to an end. Berenyi obviously has a very distinctive voice and style, and though Piroshka is a different band, Lush fans will absolutely enjoy their debut album which is filled with melodic, gazey, and guitar-driven indie-rock. The 10 track album is titled Brickbat, which takes its name from a slang word for a weapon. According to the band, the title is quite fitting:
"The album is named after the word for a missile, which nails the record’s heavyweight lyrics if not the music’s gorgeous, bittersweet and euphoric pop."
Brickbat will be released February 15th on Bella Union, the label Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde (formerly of Cocteau Twins) launched in 1997. Stream Piroshka's wonderful debut single "Everlastingly Yours" below and head here to pre-order Brickbat.
