Hazy, reverb-soaked guitars meet driving motorik rhythms. A modern take on shoegaze that feels like a long night turning into a grey morning.

Bdrmm emerged from Hull, UK, originally as the solo project of Ryan Smith before evolving into a four-piece band. Their sound is a sophisticated evolution of the shoegaze revival, heavily informed by the rhythmic discipline of Krautrock and the moody atmosphere of post-punk.
Their 2020 debut, 'Bedroom', was a critical success that established them as leaders in the modern shoegaze scene, praised for its emotional honesty and lush production. Following their move to Mogwai's Rock Action Records for their second album 'I Don't Know', the band expanded their sonic palette to include elements of ambient, jazz, and trip-hop, moving away from traditional guitar-rock structures. Their third album, 'Microtonic', further signaled a shift toward electronic music. Critically, they are viewed as a bridge between the classic 90s shoegaze sound and a more contemporary, genre-fluid approach to indie rock. They are frequently compared to DIIV and Ride, but distinguished by their specific focus on motorik rhythms and submerged, breathy vocal treatments.
