“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.

The vinyl LP is released via a limited pressing of a marble colour version as well as the classic black version. Both vinyl LP’s include an MP3 download code.
