Shows Are Standing Room OnlyMiki Berenyi Trio, today announce the release of their debut album Tripla due out April 4 via Bella Union and available to preorder here. A new chapter, a new-line-up, a newly minted sound; it is a landmark record for its three creators: Miki Berenyi, KJ Moose McKillop and Oliver Cherer. The albums richly layered, imaginative and uniquely slanted strain of dream pop is an often euphoric and sometimes melancholic mix of guitars and electronica, fronted by Mikis instantly recognisable vocal, overlaid with an often profound and sometimes abrasive or yearning view of the world. To accompany the announcement, the band have shared a video by Sbastien Faits-Divers combining live footage filmed in Dijon, France with artwork by Chris Bigg for their rousing first single 8th Deadly Sin. Miki Berenyi Trio, or MB3 for short, is named after its lead singer a direct way to convey the presence of the former singer/co-guitarist of Lush, and one of the most instantly recognisable faces of the 90s - but the songwriting is entirely a three-way collaboration, as the album title describes: acknowledging the mother tongue of Mikis father, Tripla is Hungarian for triple. The trios dynamic beauty is illustrated by the albums lead single and opening track 8th Deadly Sin, subtly influenced by dance music but equally driven by a shoegaze-y dynamic, a combination accomplished with finesse and a barrage of gorgeous hooks. The track is coupled with Mooses eco-protesting lyric, or as he puts it, the absolute disrespect for Mother Earth. Dyou understand the mess were in? Miki sings. So whats the plan, Action Man? / Silly boys / broken toys. Commenting on 8th Deadly Sin Miki Berenyi says: Simon Raymonde instantly picked this out as a single and it immediately went down a storm when we played it live. I cant pretend that I am in a position to lecture others over their green credentials but theres a broader philosophy in the song that I can relate to humanity hurtling toward its own destruction, which (to me) applies as much to wars and social intolerance as it does environmental issues. Tripla is completed by a superb mix by Paul Gregory (of Bella Union labelmates Lanterns On The Lake) and beautiful artwork by Chris Bigg who designed the sleeves for Piroshka and contributed to all of Lushs sleeves incorporating photography from Martin Andersen. But for all the albums heightened and sophisticated sound, MB3 have gone back to basics, not only recording at home but driving a car packed with their gear, loading in and out of venues themselves. There is something very grass roots about what were doing, says Miki. Theres no point following the announce the album, then tour, then record the next album route we just want to wring as much enjoyment out of this as we can, and hope that it resonates somewhere! Miki Berenyi Trio have announced a number of upcoming live dates including UK shows as part of Independent Venue Week followed by Rough Trade instore performances in April and a European tour in April and May.
