NEWS: bdrmm sign to Mogwai’s label and announce second album

Following the release of 2020’s widely-acclaimed debut LP Bedroom, and a clutch of hotly-received singles since, the Hull based shoegaze quartet bdrmm have announced that they have signed to Mogwai’s Rock Action labekand that the revered independent label will release their anticipated second album I Don’t Know on June 30th.

Having been playing with Mogwai in recent months, the band had this to say about signing to Rock Action:

We’re so excited to have signed to Rock Action. After touring with Mogwai and forming such a close relationship with them, we feel blessed to have been invited to work with them and their team. To be on the same label as Arab Strap too? I mean, say no more…’

The first track to be released from the album is entitled ‘It’s Just A Bit Of Blood‘ is out now and the video can be streamed below. Speaking about the track, the band’s Ryan Smith said:

Most people who have seen us tour will recognise this track. The more we played it, the more it dawned on us it was becoming something special, and an integral part of our set. Lyrically, it stems from my recent mental health awareness. I’d become depressed and very socially anxious, I really felt like I had changed and didn’t know who I was. I am lucky enough to be surrounded by three of my brothers within this band – one literally by blood – and have always been able to be myself with them. It’s about realising what you have and remembering that when you can’t see it.’
