Following Lush’s album reissues, co-founder Emma Anderson releases her debut solo album Pearlies via Sonic Cathedral. Teaming up with producer James Chapman (Maps), Anderson blends electronic pop with psych and folk influences, exploring themes of independence, fear, and personal growth. Originally sparked by Lush’s 2016 reunion ending, the album evolved with help from Audrey Riley, Robin Guthrie, and guitarist Richard Oakes (Suede). With mastering by Heba Kadry, Pearlies is a richly crafted, emotionally resonant album marking a powerful solo debut.
