Microtonic follows 2023’s I Don’t Know and the band’s 2020 debut Bedroom.
While their sound is rooted in the alternative and shoegaze genres, their latest album saw the quartet evolve to bring more electronic elements and beats into their sound.
Talking about their latest album, singer and guitarist Smith said: “I think this is the best thing we've ever done, it’s a proper step up.

“With that one we knew what we were trying to do but with this one we've fully cracked it.”
Microtonic is the sound of a band finding confidence and feeling comfortable but using that position to thrust themselves into the unknown rather than rest on their laurels.
Smith adds: “I think we've gone from people saying that we sound like other bands to hopefully people saying: this is what bdrmm sound like. It’s a true expression of who we are.”
