The Raincoats’ Gina Birch announces new solo album, touring with Miki Berenyi Trio: hear “Causing Trouble Again”

The Raincoats‘ Gina Birch has announced her second solo album, Trouble, which will be out July 11 via Third Man. Like her great 2023 album I Play My Bass Loud, this one was produced by Youth of Killing Joke and features her current bandmates Marie Merlet and Jenny Green.

The first single from the album is “Causing Trouble Again,” a bouncy post-punk banger of feminist empowerment that climaxes with a gang chorus shouting out names of women who have inspired, from Grace Jones to Stormy Daniels and everyone in between. The video, directed by Dean Chalkley, features Birch’s Raincoats’ bandmate Ana da Silva, plus Lora Logic (X-Ray Spex, Essential Logic), Amy Rigby, Neo Naturists co-founder Christine Binnie, painter Daisy Parris, artist Georgina Starr, writer Jill Westwood, artist and activist Bobby Baker, costume designer Annie Symons, photographer Shirley O’Loughlin, and more. You can watch that below.

Gina and her band will be joining the Miki Berenyi Trio tour this fall, and will play Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 11. All dates are listed below.
