CD Review 4 Stars
All Music Guide
“It's this confluence of the kooky and cool, the copping of influence cut with honest to goodness solid songwriting...Lushy proves with its fun, fizzy debut that it can definitely chill behind the velvet rope." **** -Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

"Memorable and catchy…Lushy's music carries itself with a cool benevolence." –Chris Greenland, Splendid Magazine

CD Review
Shredding Paper Magazine
"So Francoise Hardy and Serge Gainsbourg take their Deux Cheveux out for a spin round the Bois de Bolougne, before stopping off at their favorite Tiki lounge. While there, they toast Singapore Slings with Tim and Letitia Stereolab, while in the background Martin Denny conducts the Nairobi Trio in a scintillating selection of his greatest exotica hits and misses. Yeah, Lushy's kind of like that - tart, tipsy, humoresque and thoroughly entertaining post-space age jazz." MLH-Shredding Paper Magazine

CD Review
Brennan Young, Copenhagen
"This is a refreshing update of the lounge/exotica genre, with some unique fusions and syntheses, which can shamelessly and seamlessly blend in with a playlist of Denny, Les Baxter and Esquivel, and could just as comfortably fit in amongst a mix with Devo, the B-52s and even Portishead." -BY, Copenhagen

CD Review
Tablet Newspaper
"With cold weather just a few short months away, Lushy's self-titled debut will be the ideal platter to pop on the hi-fi when the need hits for a little sonic blast of summer. The disc evokes warm nights on the beach, hipsters in madras shorts and Lilly Pulitzer shifts, and paper parasol-bedecked coconut concoctions." -Kathleen C. Fennessy, Tablet Newspaper

"...these locals do it a lot righter than most, mainly thanks to their bubbly (ahem) sense of humor, which manifests itself in their music, where it counts" -Notable Shows, Seattle Weekly

Club Beat
Seattle Post Intelligencer
"Like a Midwestern tourist in a garish Hawaiian shirt, Lushy stands out as an anomaly in the Emerald City. The local ensemble tiptoes lightly through Esquivel and Martin Denny's jungle, stopping for an occasional sips at the fountain of 1960's French pop and Latin jazz...they keep it sultry and tongue-in-cheek." -Tizzy Asher, Seattle PI
