Miki Berenyi Trio - Tripla
An uplifting collection of heart-bursting electronica and dream pop, deeply personal and driven by DIY spirit.
Who
Miki Berenyi, KJ 'Moose' McKillop and Oliver Cherer are Miki Berenyi Trio a.k.a MB3. Named after their lead singer, former Lush and Piroshka front woman Miki Berenyi, the three-way collaboration marries its band members' well-established careers in indie rock, whilst paying distinct homage to Miki as one of the most renowned voices of the 90s shoegaze/Britpop era. After first working together during Piroshka’s 2021 tour, the trio were united again to play a handful of Lush songs whilst Miki was promoting her hugely acclaimed memoir Fingers Crossed, Rough Trade Book of the Year 2022. Following a number of successful live sets, the band have run with an abundance of creative momentum as a tight-knit trio ever since.
What
A warm wave of 80s electronica, shoegaze textures and future dream pop. Touching on pertinent subjects such as environmental issues, depression and the state of humanity, the band transport a 90s-originated sound to a modern age, balancing anxieties with hope for the future. Leaning into electronic touch points, the album is driven by drum machines and inspired by a wide range of diverse influences from the dark ambient techno of Craven Faults to the melodic French pop of Françoise Hardy.
