British shoegazers bdrmm are releasing a new album, Microtonic, on February 28 via Rock Action. Now they have released its second single, “Infinity Peaking.” The song has a bit of a Horrors vibe to it. Listen below.
Vocalist and guitarist Ryan Smith had this to say about the new single in a press release: “‘Infinity Peaking’ perfectly encapsulates the band we were and the band we are now, that careful balance of shoegaze and electronica. It was written when I was in Malaga, and is the first track I wrote that wasn’t in some dingy bedroom. I feel like it captures the location that is reminiscent on The Durutti Column’s Hotel of the Lake, 1990. It’s a track that is full of true joy (despite the lyrics) and it was a pleasure to work on in the studio. It’s one that we felt we could really get into the experimentation on, especially in the long spanning mid-section. We’re always happiest when we’re sat on the floor of the studio surrounding the latest pedal we bought, each dying to have a pass on it.”
Previously the band shared Microtonic’s lead single, “John on the Ceiling,” which was one of our Songs of the Week.
Microtonic is the Hull-based band’s third album and the follow-up to 2023’s I Don’t Know. The new album features Sydney Minsky Sargeant of Working Men’s Club and Olivesque of Nightbus.
Smith had this to add about the album in a previous press release: “I felt very constrained writing a certain type of music to fit the genre [we were known for] but something lifted and I felt more free to create what I want. And what I seem to be doing at the moment is a lot of electronic music—taking influence from different spans of electronica, from dance music to ambient and more experimental sources.”
Bdrmm is Ryan Smith (guitar, vocals), Jordan Smith (bass, synth and vocals), Conor Murray (drums), and Joe Vickers (guitar).
