Miki Berenyi Trio has released “Big I Am”, the latest single from their forthcoming debut album Tripla (Bella Union) due out April 4, 2025. Lacing turbulent rhythms and crunchy guitar with industrial electronic beats that command you to the dancefloor, the song skewers the macho aggression unleashed by social media types such as Andrew Tate: “Throws his weight around, living a lie / Empty victory, stereotype, cliché masculine.” Miki Berenyi shares: “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 incarnation of ‘winning’ the sex war is a laughably infantile and wilfully regressive new low.” The accompanying video was filmed at the Consortium Museum (Contemporary Art Center) in Dijon, France, in one of the Isabella Ducrot “Profusione” exhibition rooms, by director Sébastien Faits-Divers.

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 has 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 ‘grassroots’ 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!”
