Berries have announced their second album.
The self-titled record will arrive through Xtra Mile Recordings on October 18, following up the London trio's 2022 debut, 'How We Function'. It saw them teaming up with producer Adrian Bushby, who handled mixing duties.
The band have shared the record's lead single, Watching Wax, a jagged and hooky '90s alt-rock and power-pop fusion that's rife with riot grrrl attitude. Introducing the track, they commented:
"Watching Wax is about escaping your worries for the day and attempting to give your mind a rest. The lyrics touch on fears for our future selves, looming anxieties that you can’t suppress and the desire to have a perfect day without your daily stormy thoughts."
"This album is about battling intrusive thoughts and finding contentment in your day, however big or small those moments are," they added. "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."
Following on from dates supporting the likes of The Subways, Skinny Lister, Feeder, Sleeper and The Pale White, Berries have scheduled their own headline UK shows for October and November. Tickets are on sale now.
