About this item

With the release of their third studio album, ‘Repetition Compulsion’, London post-punk trio Black Doldrums complete their interconnected “State of Mind Trilogy”: a three-album exploration of the psychological forces that shape identity, memory and human connection, which began with their 2022 debut, ‘Dead Awake’, and most recently, 2024’s ‘In Limerence’.

Drawing inspiration from 80s gothic post-punk, synth-pop and darkwave, alongside the atmospheric film scores of John Carpenter and Vangelis, the London trio build on the emotional and sonic foundations of these influences to create something cinematic, modern and unmistakably their own.

Rich in detail, artistic ambition and emotional weight, ‘Repetition Compulsion’ is Black Doldrums’ most fully realised work to date.
