Amazing longplayers

6 July 2023

Band: bdrmm
Who: Shoegazy pop dreamers
from Kingston Up Hill

New album: I DON’T KNOW
Second one following their arresting
2020 debut Bedroom.

Ryan Smith (songwriter vocalist in an interview with NME: “I’d describe it as the second chapter, the themes are still the same, I definitely had to hone it in because some of my lyrics were pretty to the point. That was an important part of it though. It’s a way of vocalising my own fucking inner turmoil and sharing it with three of my best mates. They understand and they help me shape it into something that people can really enjoy. The listeners can make their own mind up and that’s what we were striving for.”

Uncut Magazine about I Don’t Know: “bdrmm have expanded their sound, retaining that youthful energy and combining it with ambition and impressive marshalling of dynamics that creates a strangely serene album.” Score: 8/10.

TUTV‘s impressions: I Don’t Know is a wondrous joyride for daydreamers, a spacey trip with starry-eyed pop symphonies (Alps / A Final Movement) and moony wanderings (Be Careful / Advertisement One). Less shoe-gazing than before, more Pink Floyd-esque cinematic than before and some Radiohead turbulence here and there. I do know this Hull team is here to stay. So should you.

Key single: standout stunner It’s Just A Bit Of Blood
