Lushlife is the third studio album by Bowery Electric.[4] It was released on Beggars Banquet Records on February 22, 2000.[4]

Reception

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave Lushlife 3 stars out of 5, noting that "Lawrence Chandler's beats, though highly clichéd at points, land harder than before, and Martha Schwendener's vocals are more prominent."[1] He said: "It's their most song-based outing to date, and as a result, it's also their most accessible."[1]

Marc Savlov of The Austin Chronicle gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "a morphine drip of an album, so clear and precise in its smokey, sexy grooves that it seems almost too easy to compare them to fellow late-night nodders Portishead."[2]
