Bdrmm’s “I Don’t Know” is a song that shows the Hull’s rock band moving to lighter tonalities while keeping with the introspective sentimentality of their first record. The album is their second creation and stands as proof that they have evolved as musicians, smoothly combining shoegaze and alternative rock elements. This is a positive note the album begins with suggesting the audience to engage with themes of confusion and identity. Songs such as “A Daydream” are built with natural sounding strings and vocals on top of which gives a fully immersive feel of the music while remaining rather personal. The skills are clearly displayed which denotes a certain level of confidence, but if there is one defining aspect of their sound, it is rawness. This collection of songs exhibits not only bdrmm’s growth as musicians but quite honestly, it helps any person dealing with the struggles of living.
