Black Doldrums announce ‘Repetition Compulsion’ album, share ‘Repetition’

London post-punk trio Black Doldrums will release their third album, “Repetition Compulsion,” on November 13, 2026, via Fuzz Club Records. The record completes the band’s “State of Mind Trilogy,” which explores psychological themes of identity and memory across three albums beginning with 2022’s “Dead Awake” and continuing through 2024’s “In Limerence.” The new album examines unconscious patterns and destructive cycles, drawing inspiration from the Freudian concept of repetition compulsion. Lead single “Repetition” arrives with an accompanying video and features dual vocals from founding members Kevin Gibbard and Sophie Landers, whose creative partnership forms the album’s core. The eleven-track album showcases the band’s blend of 80s gothic post-punk, darkwave, and synth-pop influences, layered with analogue synthesizers and chorus-driven guitars reminiscent of John Carpenter and Vangelis film scores.
