BRING ME THE HORIZON Teases New Project With Lo-Fi Versions of Their Songs

Summary

• Bring Me The Horizon is launching a lo-fi project featuring chilled-out versions of their own songs.
• The band teamed up with lo-fi producers to rework tracks for relaxation, focus, or sleep.
• A teaser video shared on Instagram shows a laid-back, VHS-style look at the new direction.

Bring Me The Horizon is exploring a different vibe. On Tuesday (8), the British band shared on Instagram that they’ve been working on a new project featuring lo-fi reinterpretations of their songs.

The announcement came with a grainy, home-video-style clip that looks like it was pulled from a dusty VHS tape (watch below). It offers a glimpse behind the scenes of their European tour, while setting a laid-back mood for what’s to come.

Lo-fi isn’t exactly a fresh concept. Though it’s become a favorite among Gen Z and study-with-me YouTubers, the genre actually dates back to the 1950s, when musicians relied on more affordable, lower-fidelity equipment.

These technical limits shaped the genre’s signature sound, static, tape hiss, intentional distortion, and all the other sonic imperfections that digital production usually tries to erase.

Beyond the sound quality, lo-fi tends to lean into slower tempos, smooth rhythms, and chill atmospheres. It’s tailor-made for zoning out, late-night study sessions, or just letting your brain drift while a beat loops in the background.

A New Spin on Familiar Tracks

In their Instagram post, the band kept things simple but intriguing:

“We’ve collaborated with some of our favorite lo-fi producers on a new project where we reworked BMTH songs into lo-fi versions. These are tracks to relax, focus, sleep, or just let your mind wander… whatever you’re into. Coming soon.”

That’s the pitch. Not exactly a call to the mosh pit, but not meant to be. The teaser video features a calm instrumental loop, led by soft guitar tones and ambient effects. A far cry from “Can You Feel My Heart?”, “Drown”, or “DArkSide”, but that’s the point.

Bring Me The Horizon isn’t abandoning heavy hooks. This project feels more like a detour, a quiet side street off the main road. It plays to their ongoing interest in experimenting with genres and formats, which has long been part of their identity.

So if you’ve ever wanted to hear your favorite BMTH tracks through the filter of a lo-fi café playlist, this might be your moment.

About Bring Me The Horizon

Bring Me The Horizon formed in Sheffield, England in 2004 and didn’t exactly stick to one genre. They started off deep in the deathcore trenches, then swerved into metalcore, flirted with arena rock, dabbled in pop, and are now casually dropping lo-fi. It’s less about evolution and more about doing whatever keeps them from getting bored.

Fronted by Oli Sykes, the group built a reputation for switching things up, sometimes mid-album. Their releases, from Suicide Season to Sempiternal, and later amo, don’t follow a single musical path, which tends to confuse gatekeepers and energize fans.

Their catalog includes hits like “Can You Feel My Heart?”, “Drown”, and “Throne”, all of which sound like they were written by entirely different bands. That’s part of the deal. They’ve embraced streaming-era genre-hopping without apology, and their fanbase seems fine with it.

Rather than chasing one sound, they lean into trends, collapse expectations, and sometimes even release songs that sound like they came from a video game loading screen. And somehow, it works.
