4AD stalwarts Lush might be about to get the old band back together.

Since their split in 1998 following the death of drummer Chris Acland in 1996, Lush's members have been dabbling in a variety of projects: Anderson was in a band called Sing-Sing; guitarist/singer Miki Berenyi works/ed as a sub-editor, and bassist Phil King is a touring instrumentalist with The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Lush last released a studio album in 1996 - Lovelife. For a crash course in Lush, pop on over to 4AD's website or Wikipedia. A series of reflective interviews were recently printed/reprinted at Under The Radar.
