BLACK DOLDRUMS NEW TRACK EXCLUSIVE!

BLACK DOLDRUMS NEW TRACK EXCLUSIVE!

Ascendant London psych-rock duo BLACK DOLDRUMS have a new EP out next month and they're premiering the lead track exclusively with Vive Le Rock!
'There Is No Eye' is taken from the four-track Sad Paradise EP which will be their first release on the Club AC30 label. It was co-produced by engineer James Aparicio whose credits include Spiritualized, Nick Cave and Depeche Mode.
A combination of Kevin Gibbard's layers of six-string sonic attack and Sophia Lacroix's relentless tribal drums, the pair have been causing a stir across London and further afield for the last couple of years, paying homage to greasy biker psych and brown-acid meltdown.
“With just the two of us, it's a close relationship with its challenges," explains Gibbard. "We don't have a lot of people we can rely on and for creativity this can be both productive and destructive as well as rewarding, due to the fact we both have something in common to work against. It's us against them. Lyrically, I like to keep things simple and base each song around a theme as appose to a specific subject. More a feeling than a story. In terms of composition, each song ends up being a journey as we like to experiment and push it as far as we can with just the two of us. Our whole approach is that a song should write itself.”
