Black Doldrums have been growing in stature over the last few years with their live shows sounding bigger and more assured and the audiences growing and with the release of their second full length album, again on Fuzz Club<\/a>, they\u2019ve reached new heights.<\/p>\n

In hindsight previous album \u2018Dead Awake\u2019 feels like the end of a chapter and it now feels like the transition from the old Black Doldrums is complete and this was where they were heading, the evolution over the last few years has brought us to this.<\/p>\n

One of the remarkable things about this record is that the quality never lets up throughout and just how much the identity of the band dominates despite there being some obvious reference points. It would be easy enough to name apparent influences as there are echoes and fragments and glimmers that feel like they originated back in the days before goth was called goth but the sound is distinctive and unmistakeably their own.<\/p>\n
