Amsterdam trio Baby Berserk reveal plans for third album, Psycho Dance Sleaze
Baby Berserk have announced their upcoming album, Psycho Dance Sleaze, and released the lead single, "French Manicure".
Over the past few years, Baby Berserk — formed by Lieselot Elzinga, Eva Wijnbergen and Mano Hollestelle — have built a world around punk, fashion and club culture. Psycho Dance Sleaze follows the band's 2024 album Slightly Hysterical Girls with Pearls, with "French Manicure" landing as the first preview. The track is built around the mystery of an anonymous phone conversation, and the excitement of developing a connection with someone you don't know anything about.
On Psycho Dance Sleaze, the band pushes deeper into the electronic territory that has defined their sound as they seek out a balance between the raw nature of garage rock and the rhythms of club music, taking influence from bands such as The Stone Roses, Beastie Boys, PILL, The Prodigy, and the energy of 1950s rock'n'roll.
The album was recorded in Hollestelle's Amsterdam studio, with him leading on instrumentation, production and mixing, while Elzinga and Wijnbergen contributed vocals. The band explore a varied emotional palette, moving between obsession, desire, frustration, vulnerability and liberation against their exploratory sonic landscape.
