Having reached that grow-or-stagnate point of their musical career, bdrmm have decided to grow. Not that there wasn’t a clearly readable upwards trajectory in the previous works the Hull-based indie-rockers have produced, but even from the first couple tracks their new full-length effort, Microtonic, can’t help but feel like a full-blown upgrade.

When it comes to Warmdüscher releasing new music, it is always a good idea to factor in an element of surprise.

I've not been on here in ages (troubled by the general tone of conversations mostly). This is just to say, I am alive and still writing. Will try to show up/share links a little more often.
