BERRIES – BERRIES – ALBUM REVIEW
2022’s ‘How We Function’, introduced us to the colourful world of BERRIES, and now the trio are ready to take their quirky sound to another level on their self-titled sophomore release.
With a slight tweak to their line-up and releasing through the always reliable Xtra Mile Recordings, it’s great to hear the band really homing in on what makes them special. Equal doses methodical and chaotic, these ten tracks are another sonic rainbow of delicate melodies and rousing riffs.
There is a plethora of influences and genres represented within the tracks, but whilst sometimes that makes a record feel disjointed – the uniqueness of BERRIES instead makes the record an exhilarating rollercoaster. There are plenty of twists and turns, lulls and peaks and an overarching sense of urgency.

Working with renowned production wizard Adrian Bushby, who mixes the album with an equal sense of ferocity, clearly adds a layer to this second album.
It is the sublime musical eccentricity and honest and pressing lyrical prowess of the band however that means that somehow they have manged to top what was a fantastic debut record.
You can’t really go wrong with this collection and it’s certainly more interesting than 90% of new music. The trio have a daring attitude and the talent to back it up and with two superb albums kickstarting their career, you can’t help but be excited to hear what the group do next!
