If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Abbey Raymonde Before their album is released this Friday, Miki Berenyi Trio have released one final single. "Kinch" is about that happy and sad feeling you get when you see photos of loved ones who have passed away. In Berenyi's case, it's about her father and Chris Acland, Lush's drummer who died in 1996. Musically, the song is equal parts alt-rock (including shoegaze) mixed with a chilled out electronic sound. It almost sounds like a cross between classic shoegaze bands of the 90's with some trip hop elements. It's a beautiful and engaging new song that will suck you in with its more hypnotic sounds.  Miki Berenyi says of her band's latest single: “The lyrics are inspired by love and loss, and how those people never leave you, and how it makes you think about the nature of love.” You can watch the video for "Kinch" below. Tripla is due out April 4 on Bella Union, and is available for pre-order here . For more on Miki Berenyi Trio,...

"Big I Am" is reminding me of that period in the 90's when rave and electronic music culture started invading alt-rock. It has a hypnotic sound and dances right in the middle of being either electronic or alt-rock. It's reminding me a lot of a mix between The Stone Roses' "Fools Gold" and Hotwired era Soup Dragons... just a little more electronic. If you've been a fan of Lush or Berenyi's post-Lush bands (or really any 90's British bands), you're going to enjoy "Big I Am."  Miki Berenyi says of her band's latest single: “I've witnessed 50+ years of the trends in masculinity and frankly, nothing much changes – as ever, there are good men and there are shit men, and there are boys who can be misguided but easily mature into the best of their sex. But this latest ...

Photo by Abbey Raymonde Former Lush singer/co-guitarist Miki Berenyi is back with her latest musical project, Miki Berenyl Trio. The first single off their upcoming album, "8th Deadly Sin," captures the shoegaze qualities of Berenyi's 90's band while adding in electronic elements. The result is part Lush and part the chill out room at a rave. It's more along the lines of the pop side of electronica in the 90's such as Sneaker Pimps. Berenyi's voice is instantly recognizable in "8th Deadly Sin," and if you've been a fan of her previous projects, or the 90's electronic music/trip hop scene, you're going to love this one.  Miki Berenyi says of her band's latest single: “Simon Raymonde instantly picked this out as a single and it immediately went down a storm when we played it live. I can’t pretend that I am in a position to lecture others over their green credentials but there’s a broader philosophy in the song that I can relate to –...
