Piroshka, the band led by former Lush singer/guitarist Miki Berenyi that also features guitarist KJ ‘Moose’ McKillop (Moose), drummer Justin Welch (Elastica) and bassist Mick Conroy (Modern English), released their excellent debut album, Brickbat, in 2018 and are now back with its follow-up, Love Drips & Gathers. It's out July 23 via Bella Union, the label run by former Cocteau Twins member Simon Raymonde.
Love Drips & Gathers is a shift in sound from Brickbat, but one Miki and Moose are very familiar with. “If Brickbat was our Britpop album, then Love Drips And Gathers is shoegaze!” says Berenyi. “It wasn’t intentional; we just wanted a different focus. I’ve always seen debut albums as capturing a band’s first moments, when you really have momentum, and then the second album is the chance for a more thoughtful approach.”
