After delivering one of 2019’s seminal albums in Brickbat, Piroshka returns for an even deeper dive. For those unacquainted, Piroshka is a collective of some of the nineties' foremost musical figures. Featuring Miki Berenyi of Lush, KJ “Moose” McKillop of the band Moose, (a live review of the band in Sounds magazine infamously coined the term “shoegazing”).
