Miki Berenyi Trio released their debut album Tripla earlier this year to widespread international acclaim.

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. However, the songwriting is entirely a three-way collaboration by Miki Berenyi, KJ ‘Moose’ McKillop and Oliver Cherer, as the album title highlights, while acknowledging the mother tongue of Miki’s father: Tripla is Hungarian for ‘triple’.

Tripla’s richly layered, imaginative and uniquely slanted strain of dream pop is an often euphoric and sometimes melancholic mix of guitars and electronica, fronted by Miki’s instantly recognisable vocal, overlaid with an often profound and sometimes abrasive view of our age. But whether fearing the effects of macho aggression, the solipsism of social media and the race to environmental destruction, particularly for our children, or mourning lost loved-ones and middle-of-the-night anxiety, the shoegaze pioneers continue to imbue their politically charged legacy with upbeat optimism and a sense of humour.

Miki Berenyi Trio are currently writing and recording their next album.
