Miki Berenyi Trio are about to start a UK and Ireland tour, and have released a brand new single. "Island of One" is awash in the lush, gorgeous wall of noise you associate with any shoegaze or dream pop artist. For this one, they've added in some Latin elements to the song, making it upbeat and increasingly catchy. This latest song is especially fun and beautiful, with even the noisier elements carrying much of the beauty of the song. It's also a little more trippy than we normally hear from MB3. Overall, "Island of One" is a fantastic song that will have you going back for more, partly because it's great and partly since more is revealed within the song after repeated listens.
Miki Berenyi says of her latest single:
“Island of One took shape because I became quite obsessed with the track ‘Just A Western’ by Nilüfer Yanya last year, and the Latin-y beat got me inspired. But I wanted a lively, catchy song to add to our live set, so it ended up less laidback and more 60s-breezy with some driving, scratchy guitars – once all three MB3 members pile in on the embellishments, a song ends up a fair distance from where it started! As ever, recording and production took place in our various home-studio set-ups, and the song was mixed by our brilliant Bella Union labelmate, Paul Gregory.”
