Miki Berenyi Trio - Tripla
This product is available on pre order with a limited discounted price.
The album'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 or yearning view of the world.
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 Miki's
father, Tripla is Hungarian for 'triple'.
Miki and Moose, who came of age during the era of shoegaze and Britpop in Lush and
the equally beloved Moose respectively, arrived here from Piroshka, which the couple
formed in 2017 with drummer Justin Welch (ex- Elastica) and bassist Mick Conroy
(Modern English). When Mick broke his arm during the tour that followed Piroshka's
second album Love Drips And Gathers, in stepped Oliver, Justin's bandmate in
Aircooled and an eclectic, roving solo artist, under aliases such as Dollboy and Gilroy
Mere.
With Mick moving to America, and Justin swamped by session work and live duties
for The Jesus & Mary Chain and The Pretenders, Piroshka was put on ice, before the
Miki- Moose- Oliver trio came together to play a handful of Lush songs whilst
promoting her hugely acclaimed memoir Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From
Success.A bout of songwriting sessions followed. "Nothing was planned," Oliver
recalls. "It was more of an organic process."
Likewise, the gleaming, gliding MB3 sound. Minus a drummer, the trio incorporated
drum machines behind Moose and Miki's guitars and Oliver's bass, which led to the
addition of more electronic components. Freed too from the logistics of touring with a
drumkit, MB3 have seized the chance to regularly play live, including support tours to
Gang Of Four and Wedding Present (twice) plus regular headline shows, including
summer 2024's US dates, supported by post-punk legends Lol Tolhurst x Budgie.
