Miki Berenyi was a founding member of the great ’90s shoegaze band Lush, and she currently plays in Piroshka. In 2022, she published an autobiography titled Fingers Crossed: How Music Saved Me From Success. Today, the English musician is announcing her new project called Miki Berenyi Trio and sharing their debut song “Vertigo,” out on Bella Union now.

“‘Vertigo’ is about anxiety and the efforts to talk myself down from the precipice – the usual cheerful stuff,” Berenyi said in a statement. “It’s a challenge to not have a drummer, and to use more programming, but the essence of the music is still guitars and melody – as it always has been, particularly in mine and Moose’s bands.”

Miki Berenyi Trio features Piroshka collaborators Kevin ‘Moose’ McKillop on guitar and Oliver Cherer on bass. They’ve also shared US tour dates with the Cure’s Lol Tolhurst and Budgie of Siouxsie And The Banshees; Michael Conroy of Piroshka and Modern English will join Miki Berenyi Trio for this run.

We recently caught up with Lush co-founder Emma Anderson, along with Deb Googe of My Bloody Valentine and Primal Scream and Rachel Goswell of Slowdive.

“Vertigo” comes with a video filmed by French director Sébastien Faits-Divers in the Consortium Museum in Dijon, in one of the Isabella Ducrot exhibition rooms. Watch it below.
