BFM marks Pope’s first album since their 2017 album, True Talent Champion. The upcoming record finds the three-piece at their most experienced and locked in yet, an inward reckoning and a homecoming, tracing the band’s journey from their Houston beginnings to the community that shaped them in New Orleans. Opening with cycles of stagnation and self-doubt, the record gradually turns toward connection, resilience, and release, letting each song feel like a response to the last. Along the way, grief, community, and self-worth surface through warm melodies, lo-fi detours, and moments of raw vulnerability that reflect years of shared history between the three friends. Guided only by what feels honest, Pope sounds more patient and emotionally grounded than ever. BFM feels like the band returning to the place where it all began, carrying everything they’ve learned back to the moment friendship became a future.
12" vinyl LP housed in a full color gatefold jacket featuring the BFM cover artwork on the front and expanded artwork across the inside spread. Gatefold packaging lets the album’s visuals open up alongside the music.
Compact disc housed in a full color digipak featuring the BFM cover artwork and matching interior panels. Printed board packaging with a clean layout and warm tones that fit the record’s mood.
Cassette housed in a clear cassette case with a full color J card. Simple, classic presentation that keeps the artwork consistent with the rest of the run
