The Hull based quartet bdrmm returned with a new single ”John on the Ceiling” and the news that their third album “Microtonic” will land February 28th on Mogwai’s Rock Action label.

The pulsating, late-night feel to “John on the Ceiling” is representative of a new album that takes the band several strides forwards. Being asked to support Daniel Avery, along with a trip to Field Day for a group rave, were both instrumental moments in the band deciding to incorporate more dance music elements into a sound that had already been moving steadily towards across recent releases.

The first single “John on the Ceiling” is a song the band had the foundations for early in their career but one that represented a direction they maybe didn’t possess the full confidence or knowhow to follow at the time. The completion of the propulsive single was to lay the groundwork for how they approached the rest of “Microtonic” and set the precedent for their third record as whole.

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
