Info
London-based gothic post-punk trio Black Doldrums have established themselves in modern dark alternative music. Blending driving rhythms, cascading guitar textures and cinematic atmospheres with themes of psychology, identity and human connection, the band create a sound that draws from gothic post-punk, darkwave and synth-pop.
At the core of Black Doldrums are Kevin Gibbard and Sophie Landers, whose creative partnership has shaped the band’s immersive and emotionally charged sound. Their latest album, Repetition Compulsion, completes the State of Mind Trilogy, following 2022’s Dead Awake and 2024’s In Limerence. Inspired by the psychoanalytic concept of repeating unconscious emotional patterns, the album explores inherited behaviours, destructive cycles and the forces that quietly shape our lives.
Black Doldrums fuse primal drumming, melodic bass lines and atmospheric guitars into live experiences that balance menace with beauty. As they complete their trilogy with Repetition Compulsion, the band continue to explore the possibilities of contemporary gothic post-punk.
