Rock Action
Ok ok, if it wasn't clear from the accolades we've previously showered on these incredible Hullensians, let's just say that 3 albums in, we are officially besotted! 'Microtonic' sends their already soaring sounds spinning off into an electronic stratosphere, slipping in forlornly uplifting choruses, sly winks to Chris Morris, and a sound palette that just begs to be heard as loud as bloody possible in the process.
Descended from a remarkable lineage of two prior albums, each boasting a firm place in our top 5 end of year lists, bdrmm's 3rd album has a big reputation to live up to - & we bet that it will. For the uninitiated, bdrmm dove into our hearts & ears a few years ago with their mesmeric strain of alluringly melodic shoegaze, & then doubled down when they ventured into Radiohead-levels of artistry on their sophomore.
“I think this is the best thing we've ever done, it's a proper step up” - it’s immediately clear that the Hull band have broken new ground on, 'Microtonic'. “The last album was essentially like a bridge between the two albums,” the band say of 2023’s 'I Don’t Know'. “With that one, we knew what we were trying to do but with this one we've fully cracked it.” Bdrmm’s trademark sound hasn’t disappeared by any means, the band's more guitar-heavy beginnings a blueprint and influence on many of the groups breaking through in the here and now, a time when shoegaze is enjoying its strongest revival since its inception in the 80s, but those guitars are now incorporated into a broader, more expansive and varied sonic palette. "Microtonic", recorded with long-term band collaborator, Alex Greaves, features guest appearances from Working Men's Club and Olivesque of Nightbus.
