Hull-based dream pop/psych/shoegaze band Bdrmm have unleashed their new single “Be Careful” and its accompanying video.
The track is lifted from their sophomore album ‘I Don’t Know‘, recorded with long-time band collaborator Alex Greaves, out on June 30 through Rock Action Records. Pre-order it here.
Wrapped in reverb and paired to a trip-hop shuffle, the band’s Ryan Smith had the following to say about the themes behind their latest track:
“‘Be Careful was written during the pandemic (I said I’d never write the P word again, but for honesty’s sake). I had set up a little studio in the back of my garden and would often take myself there on evenings with numerous bottles of wine. Inspired by Portishead, and with a bassline that owes itself to Radiohead’s ‘Nude’, this track came about so naturally.”
“It’s about taking care of yourself and realising when you need to change. I’ve been guilty of indulging too much, and I definitely noticed myself becoming somebody I don’t like. When realising that, it felt important. Trying to be a better person is hard when you don’t know you’re doing something wrong.”
