The English band bdrmm, from Hull, is making waves with the release of their debut album Bedroom on the Sonic Cathedral label. After two limited releases (an EP and a 7-inch single), this 42-minute opus captivates with its blend of cold wave, shoegaze, and eighties influences. From the instrumental intro "Momo," the ethereal guitar sound and synthetic pads enthrall, evoking bands like DIIV, Slowdive, and Ride. Despite these references, bdrmm offers music that is both carefree and mature, with standout tracks such as "Push/Pull" and the trilogy "Happy/(TheSilence)/(Un)Happy." The album explores intense emotions, from happiness to disillusionment, while varying atmospheres, from shoegaze on "If...." to airy melancholy on "Forget The Credits." The album offers an addictive and perfectly accomplished musical experience. Bedroom stands out as a success that will mark the summer and beyond, hinting at a bright future for bdrmm.
