Brave new world

Bdrmm's debut album, released in the midst of the pandemic turmoil of 2020, won them plenty of admirers - but follow-up I Don't Know feels like a significant step forward, away from the shoegaze blueprint and into more ambitious and varied territory. Buzz review here.

The band's Jordan Smith and Joe Vickers told Rhys Buchanan of NME that it's all about having the confidence to push in different directions, while also talking about feeling like "outliers" and having the ear and patronage of luminaries such as Ride and their new label bosses Mogwai.
