London post punk/darkwave/psych band Black Doldrums have shared their new single “Summer Breeze” alongside an accompanying video.
The track serves as the second taste of their upcoming sophomore album ‘In Limerence‘, due to be released on October 18th via Fuzz Club. Pre-order it here.
Co-produced by Theo Verney (English Teacher, TRAAMS, Egyptian Blue), Black Doldrums’ moody gothic post-punk is at its purest and most atmospheric on ‘In Limerence’. Seeking a cleaner, more direct sound that still captured the whirlwind intensity of their live shows, their familiar darkwave and shoegaze influences are contrasted here against shimmering, jangly goth-pop moments such as ‘Summer Breeze’.
On the new single, Black Doldrums’ frontman/guitarist Kevin Gibbard says: “This song could easily be called ‘second chance’. It’s not really about summer but summer breeze is used as a metaphor for a period when given a second chance and a sense of optimism is felt after meeting Sophie. A breath of fresh air.“
