Lush cofounder Miki Berenyi has shared the debut single from her new group, the Miki Berenyi Trio, which includes her partner and Piroshka bandmate KJ ‘Moose’ McKillop (also of ’90s shoegazers Moose) and Oliver Cherer.
“‘Vertigo’ is about anxiety and the efforts to talk myself down from the precipice – the usual cheerful stuff,” Berenyi says of the single, which adds electronic percussion to the ethereal sound she’s honed with previous groups. “It’s a challenge to not have a drummer, and to use more programming,” she adds, “but the essence of the music is still guitars and melody – as it always has been, particularly in mine and Moose’s bands.”
Berenyi’s fantastic memoir, “Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From Success”, was recently released in North America.
