# Lo-files
**Lo-files** (stylized with a lowercase first letter) is a 23-track album by the British rock band Bring Me The Horizon, released on 11 July 2025 via RCA/Sony, in which songs from across the band's catalog are reworked as lo-fi reinterpretations by producers from the lo-fi and instrumental hip-hop scene.[1](https://blabbermouth.net/news/bring-me-the-horizon-surprise-releases-23-song-lo-files-album) The reworked material spans every era of the band, from 2013's *[Sempiternal](https://www.edgepedia.org/sempiternal-album)* to 2024's *POST HUMAN: NeX Gen*.[1](https://blabbermouth.net/news/bring-me-the-horizon-surprise-releases-23-song-lo-files-album) Frontman Oli Sykes has described the record as "utility music", intended for moments of quiet, creativity, or introspection.[1](https://blabbermouth.net/news/bring-me-the-horizon-surprise-releases-23-song-lo-files-album)

## Background and release
The band first teased the project on social media on 8 July 2025 and confirmed its details the following day; the album appeared on 11 July, ahead of the band's headline performances at the Reading and Leeds Festival on 23 and 24 August and a North American stadium tour in September and October.[1](https://blabbermouth.net/news/bring-me-the-horizon-surprise-releases-23-song-lo-files-album) Sykes explained the intent in a statement: his original idea for the band's "go-to" record had been something more chill, a record to study or zone out to, but that project had ended up far more chaotic than intended, so Lo-files was another attempt at something low key. He added that he listens to a lot of lo-fi when working or feeling anxious, and hoped the record could serve the same purpose for others.[1](https://blabbermouth.net/news/bring-me-the-horizon-surprise-releases-23-song-lo-files-album)
The band characterized the project as a collaboration with "producers we love from the lofi scene" in which BMTH songs were reworked into lofi versions.[1](https://blabbermouth.net/news/bring-me-the-horizon-surprise-releases-23-song-lo-files-album) [MusicBrainz](https://www.edgepedia.org/musicbrainz) tags the release with the genres electronic and lo-fi.[2](https://musicbrainz.org/release/249cd75a-605f-4f4b-826e-64c1ef4bac5f)
## Music and tracklist
Each track is named as a stylized computer filename and credits the lo-fi producer who reworked it: the opener "canyoufeelmy<3.tmpx" (a remix of "Can You Feel My Heart" by Casiio and No Spirit) runs 2:43, "(U)topia.drm" ("YOUtopia", reworked by lophiile) runs 4:50, and "in_the_dark.ech" ("in the dark", reworked by Kanisan) runs 3:08; the closing track, "Throne.GOD", is a Casiio and No Spirit remix of "Throne" at 2:07.[5](https://open.spotify.com/album/34pF0wOGswprAZCsI8A1Fs) Other entries include "losT_404.nll" (Drxnk), "king_sl@yer.fmk" (Mondo Loops), "d1g_it.core" (HM Surf), and "1DayTheOnlyButterfliesLeftWillBInurChestAsuMarchTowards UrDeath.finx" (Drxnk).[1](https://blabbermouth.net/news/bring-me-the-horizon-surprise-releases-23-song-lo-files-album) • [5](https://open.spotify.com/album/34pF0wOGswprAZCsI8A1Fs)
The Kerrang! review, which scored the album 4/5, described the results in similar terms: the opener turns a former screamer into something featherlight, "king_sl@yer.fmk" trades its original ferocity for shimmering ambience, and "shadowm0ses.frq" "still sound[s] like an anthem", while the album winds down with "Throne.GOD" as a drowsy version of a former battle cry.[6](https://www.kerrang.com/album-review-bring-me-the-horizon-lo-files) An Amped Magazine review made the same general point in a critical frame, calling the record a companion piece that shows the band's songs can thrive stripped of their usual power, while noting that the lo-fi treatment saps urgency from "med!cine.fbk" and that "d1g_it.core" occasionally veers into background music.[7](https://ampedmagazine.co.uk/2025/07/16/bring-me-the-horizon-lo-files-album-review/)

The album was scheduled as a [Record Store Day](https://www.edgepedia.org/record-store-day) 2026 exclusive on vinyl, pressed as 2 x black recycled LP vinyl in a die-cut cover sleeve with a 4-page folded insert, on the RCA label.[3](https://www.recordstoreday.co.uk/release/bring-me-the-horizon-lo-files) Sources differ on the street date: the official Record Store Day UK page lists 17 April 2026,[3](https://www.recordstoreday.co.uk/release/bring-me-the-horizon-lo-files) while MusicBrainz's vinyl entry and several retailers, including Bengans and Capsule Records, list 18 April 2026 for the United Kingdom and United States.[8](https://musicbrainz.org/release/2b61a1fe-38fd-4881-afda-52164a5296e9/disc/2) • [9](https://www.bengans.eu/bring-me-the-horizon-lo-files) The US list price at one store was $54.99 for the 2 x LP set.[10](https://news.animalrecordsevanston.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-RSD-ANIMAL-RECORDS-UPDATE-4.5.26.pdf)
