The eclectic Stereo Sanctity night returns to Norwich on 10th May for a gourmet selection of aural treats for your delectation.
Miki Berenyi Trio
Fronted by Miki Berenyi of shoegaze legends Lush, the Miki Berenyi Trio (or MB3) play Stereo Sanctity following the release of their debut album 'Tripla', out in April on the very fantastic Bella Union record label.
A new chapter, a new-line-up, a newly minted sound; 'Tripla' is a landmark record for its three creators: Miki Berenyi, KJ ‘Moose ’McKillop and Oliver Cherer. The album’s richly layered, imaginative and uniquely slanted strain of dream pop is an often euphoric and sometimes melancholic mix of guitars and electronica, fronted by Miki’s instantly recognisable vocal, overlaid with an often profound and sometimes abrasive or yearning view of the world. The trio’s dynamic beauty is illustrated by the album’s lead single and opening track ‘8th Deadly Sin’, subtly influenced by dance music but equally driven by a shoegaze-y dynamic, a combination accomplished with finesse and a barrage of gorgeous hooks. The track is coupled with Moose’s ecoprotesting lyric, or as he puts it, “the absolute disrespect for Mother Earth.” “D’you understand the mess we’re in?” Miki sings. “So what’s the plan, Action Man? / Silly boys / broken toys.”
Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys
Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys are a Berlin-based art-pop and tender noise ensemble. They have captivated audiences across Europe with their atmospheric and intense performances. Led by South African-born artist Lucy Kruger (guitar and vocals) and featuring Liú Mottes (guitar), Jean-Louise Parker (viola and vocals), Gidon Carmel (drums), and Reuben Kemp (bass), the band’s music is both intimate and angular—droning and dream-like in moments, driving, direct, and on the edge of desperation in others. Caringly confrontational.
Their latest album,A Human Home, released on May 31st, is a lo-fi, intimate collection exploring themes of belonging and home. The album features a mix of accidental and deliberate remote collaborations, capturing a unique, personal, yet universally resonant moment. Before this,Heaving—a vivid and visceral compilation—was released in April 2023 under Unique Records (EU) and Metropolis Records (USA).
