Reviews and Comments

“powerful… profound… intense… Berries is a tantalising amalgam of doubt and resolve, resignation and optimism”
LOUDER THAN WAR

“BERRIES have well and truly stepped up to the mark with their second album”
CLASH

Today, BERRIES unleash their sublime second album, via Xtra Mile Recordings.

Simply titled ‘BERRIES’, it arrives as something of a statement from the London trio and marks a major new stage in their fascinating development.

Teaming up with production legend Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse, Everything Everything), who took on mixing duties for the record, listeners will almost certainly feel that turbo-boost coursing through the veins of BERRIES 2.0. Of the new album BERRIES explain:

“‘BERRIES’ is about battling intrusive thoughts and finding contentment in your day, however big or small those moments are. It’s a journey to finding your own space and being comfortable in it. We haven’t held back with this album – it's raw, honest, and a true reflection of BERRIES…. We really pushed ourselves creatively and out of our comfort zone, especially with the acoustic track and working with mixing engineer Adrian Bushby. We’re super proud of what we’ve written and created.”

Receiving early praise, CLASH championed the record as a ““A more abstract, sometimes playful second album… BERRIES have well and truly stepped up to the mark with their second album”; whilst Louder Than War echoed their sentiments hailing it as “a frantic rush of powerful and even profound lyrics set to bold and intense musical patterns… Berries is a tantalising amalgam of doubt and resolve, resignation and optimism”.

The album arrives following the release of the recent single ‘Jagged Routine’, the BBC6 Music supported ‘Balance’, and the Louder Than War hailed ‘Watching Wax’.

With a Radio X live session this Saturday with John Kennedy, who has praised the band as “Sounding fantastic”; the band are gearing up to hit the road next week for a spate of UK live dates. With 8 dates planned for October and November, following the release of ‘BERRIES’.

BERRIES are a jagged rock trio made up of Holly Carter, Lauren Cooper and Lexi Clark. Winding off-kilter garage rock melodies around uplifting messages about what it takes to overcome mental health battles, the band released their debut album in 2022, ‘How We Function’, to glowing reviews. Gaining praise from the likes of Record Collector, The List and The Crack, the album was awarded four out of five stars by Louder Than War who dubbed it “a really well put together debut album that rocks hard and gets its message across succinctly, with a bristling beat and an intelligence that it takes some bands a few albums to achieve”. The band also delivered an exhilarating Radio X Session on John Kennedy’s show plus Steve Lamacq featured ‘Balance’ on his 6 Music Show. With a fierce live show to rival the best, they have impressed on live stages across the nation and toured with the likes of The Subways, Skinny Lister, Feeder, and Sleeper, plus Newcastle noiseniks The Pale White. Setting fervent expectations for its follow-up, BERRIES have returned to the Xtra Mile Recordings label for the release of their eponymous second album, ‘BERRIES’, which is streaming everywhere now.
