Preorder – This title is due for release on 28/02/25 "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.
