In Spring 2024, Miki Berenyi Trio (MB3) toured the US with Lol Tolhurst x Budgie as support. Terrific times were had, bonds were formed and fast-forward a year MB3 will be playing a six-date tour in Europe with Lol and his son Gray which begins this weekend. In celebration, Miki Berenyi Trio share a brand new standalone single made in collaboration with alt-rock legend and old friend Lol Tolhurst and his son Gray. Billed as Miki Berenyi Trio x Lol Tolhurst x Gray, the new single titled “Stranger” is streaming HERE. It is a sublime slice of shoegazing psychedelic beauty, recorded in Los Angeles, London and St Leonards, and produced by MB3’s Oliver Cherer. Miki Berenyi Trio will continue on to tour the UK this Spring and North America this fall. Watch / Share: Miki Berenyi Trio x Lol Tolhurst x Gray - “Stranger” Video Oliver Cherer comments, “Stranger arrived as a demo from Lol/Gray, with guitar, synth and drums, with loads of room to develop riffs, hooks and melodies. I liked the insistent repetition of the long outro and was instantly minded to explore a Talk Talk approach, which is where the piano line with the Ashes to Ashes flanger wobble came from. The outro was extended to make a virtue of the repeated progression and the strings synths were added to help swell that into a wall of crescendo. Miki then took over adding lyrics and the gorgeous vocal melodies. Moose added layers of shimmering guitars and a rough mix was sent to Lol who added drum parts, recorded by Martin Fleischmann in Los Angeles, before it all came back to St Leonards for a mix where I also sneaked in a nice fat, squelchy Moog part. It developed quite naturally and easily, with each person’s contribution making the song bigger and more beautiful at every turn.” Miki Berenyi adds, “The lyrics are about being a friend to a long-term couple splitting. The tragedy at the centre is the people actually breaking up, but the repercussions ripple outward.” Lol shares, “Sadly, Budgie couldn’t make this tour, but my son Gray is taking time out of his band Topographies to perform my set with me. ‘Stranger’ will feature all five of the touring party playing live together, and we’re excited to have a unique song for the shows”.
