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.

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 closer toward their breakthrough.

“A mix of gothic-rock and shoegaze sounds to die for” — Rolling Stone
“A fierce combination of post-punk, reverb, drone and melody” — Uncut
“Black Doldrums create transient and euphoric dark post-punk” — Louder Than War
