bdrmm - Microtonic (2025)

Despite their name, it's not another lo-fi bedroom pop project from States. Instead, the British band offer a fine quality of music that is both airy and... very much energetic. The light melodies and up-beat compositions ask anyone to dance on the artists' third album to date.

And, I have to say, this is their best one yet. Actually, when I think about it, the dreamy part of the music is slightly withdrawn. The album goes on like a good example of indietronica that is not crazy about creating the airy atmosphere but does it anyway. Sort of a side effect of the synths and samples' rich quantities. It is best audible when the band goes dark pop with spoken word vocals and the melodies woven of synths and pure, captivating flow. Yes, I'm talking about Snares. (And In the Electric Field with a guest appearance by Manchester-based artist Olivia Rees).

It's interesting how dark the album sounds while it is made of dance'able electronic sounds mostly. I love the feeling of euphoric cosiness it provides. Like one part of me wants to dance while the other just drowns in the see of sounds.
