Split is the second album by Britishshoegazing act Lush, released on 4AD on June 13, 1994 in the UK and a day later in the US. Two singles were released from the album: "Desire Lines" and "Hypocrite," both released on May 30, 1994. Split was reissued by 4AD on CD in July 2001.
Select gave the album a negative review of two out of five.[4] The review described the album as "mid-paced stuff, fitting between melancholy and listlessness."[4]
"There's nothing wrong with a dose of heavyweight introspection per se. But a pretty deft touch is needed to translate it movingly to the recording studio."[4]
Andy Kellman, writing for Allmusic, was far more positive, giving the album 4.5 stars out of five:
"Split touches on most forms of emotional turbulence. A legitimizing stunner, the record prevented the band from being lost amidst the bunker of form-over-function dream pop bands. Split shattered every negative aspect of those failed acts with flying colors. A fantastic record within any realm."[1]
