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 melancholy post-punk, driven by vicious drums, distinctive atmospheric guitar and melodic bass.

In 2020, Black Doldrums collaborated with Suicide producer, Jared Artaud who produced their debut album Dead Awake. Their debut album gained critical acclaim across mainstream media outlets, such as Uncut, Rolling Stone and Sonic Seducer.

In September 2023, Black Doldrums collaborated with THE KVB who remixed ‘Dreamcatcher’ the third single from Dead Awake. Black Doldrums are currently recording their second album.

“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

Evey makes sleazy noirish tech-wave, inspired by 80s Tokyo electronica, krautrock and industrial post punk.
