bdrmm - 'It's Just A Bit of Blood'
bdrmm’s new single evokes a sense of dread and unease, and leaves you wanting more.
bdrmm, if you haven’t heard of them, unearthed their talent during the pandemic and have sustained a large following since (and for good reason). They released their first album ‘Bedroom’ three years ago, and have blessed us with some new tracks this year.
‘It’s A Bit of Blood’ is their first teaser for the album, and it is an explosive debut track. The guitar melody at the start of the song instantly harks back to the earthy grunge of the 90s, a concoction of Massive Attack, The Smashing Pumpkins and Placebo. This is no mean feat.
The track builds, explodes, builds and explodes again, keeping the listener on their toes for 4 minutes & 46 seconds. Ryan Smith, the lead singer, asks “Where do you get off?, and I hope he doesn’t get his answer. The repetition of the question allows you to focus on the instrumental cataclysm behind him, whilst basking in the Smith’s soothing voice.
I urge you to switch on ‘It’s A Bit of Blood’, and you will be in great anticipation of bdrmm’s second album ‘I Don’t Know’, released on June 30th 2023.
