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 busy with 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.”

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 Lush’s sleeves – incorporating photography from Martin Andersen. But for all the album’s 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 we’re doing,” says Miki. “There’s 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!” https://mikiberenyitrio.bandcamp.com/album/tripla

+ Where We Sleep: Where We Sleep is the latest incarnation of Beth Rettig’s musical vision, a deeply personal, poetic exploration of the world soundtracked with ‘electro-filth’. With a host of on-off collaborators – Ben Pritchard (The Fall), Debbie Smith (Curve/Echobelly), Axel Ray (Cadet A/United Ghosts), Rettig crafts powerful but hook-laden tracks that draw a direct lineage to acts like Garbage, Curve, PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Jesus and Mary Chain and Massive Attack, using these legendary sounds as a palette to paint her own odes to the broken.
