Kevin Gibbard and Sophie Landers produce a contemporary form of gothic post-punk, with songs that contain hook and lead tribal drums and euphoric guitar textures that frame introspective lyrics. They are known for their intense live performances, creating their own style of dark post-punk driven by vicious drums, distinctive atmospheric guitar and melodic bass.

After the success of their debut album ‘Dead Awake’ on Fuzz Club Records in 2022 and gaining critical acclaim across mainstream media outlets, such as Uncut, Rolling Stone and Sonic Seducer, the band released their follow up second album ‘In Limerence’ in October 2024. Described by Louder Than War as ‘ lush yet glacial soundscapes, ramping up with bursts of energy before dispersing and cascading into an ethereal depth” ‘In Limerence’ is proving to be the album that pushes Black Doldrums further into the depths of their atmospheric post-punk.

“A mix of gothic-rock and shoegaze sounds to die for” Rolling Stone

“A fierce combination of post-punk, reverb, drone and melody” Uncut

“Awe -inspiring…Black Doldrums create transient and euphoric dark post-punk” Louder Than War

DAS GÜNTHER: Günthers Mutter beschreibt ihren Sohn wie folgt: „Party! Party! Depri! Depri! So klingt Günther. Für den einen braucht es nach Günther eine Therapie für den anderen ist er Therapie. Er führt wie ein schäbiger Clown nicht nur die Anderen, sondern auch sich selbst an der Nase herum. Er schreibt keine Lieder, er erfindet sie auf der Bühne. Günther ist Punk, Clown und Mutti zugleich.
