Three Berry Icecream's first full-length album was released at the end of 2021 on vinyl (for Record Day 2021), and now here it comes as a CD edition. In addition to the album's nine songs are included a version of "Another world" sung by long time collaborator Brent Kenji, plus a new cover of "If you could speak" (of which the original was featured in movie "God Help the Girl" directed by Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch).
Three Berry Icecream is the solo unit of Mayumi Ikemizu (of Bridge), which celebrates in 2023 its 25th anniversary. Although she has released several EPs/mini-albums, and compilation albums of those songs, "Three Berry Icecream" is the first that was recorded as an album with a full band over a short span of time.
The album comes with a bonus promo DVD titled "Three Berry Icecream 1998-2023 25th Anniversary Special Movie" which consists of a retrospective of the 25 years of Three Berry Icecream, totaling about an hour. (Note that a lot of the video and audio on the DVD was recorded using home video cameras, mobile phones, etc. and therefore is not of professional retail quality.)
Some retailers offer exclusive novelties: a badge at disques blue-very, a sticker at HMV, a postcard at Tower Records, etc. Find all details on the official release page.
