Edit history

Hailing from the Northern suburbs of Wollongong, on Dharawal country, Doldrums are long-time friends, neighbours and musical compadres Michi Hirzel (Sealife Park, Spiderling) and Matt Steffen (Decoder Ring, Toby Martin, Jim Moginie’s Electric Guitar Orchestra). Doldrums blend guitars, drum machines and drones with occasional synths and hazy vocals to create music that is, “dreamy, expansive and uplifting.” Since 2021, Doldrums have graced the stage with Juno Point, Restless Leg, The Escarpment, Cool Jumper, Manson Family Values, Bree van Reyk, Dang Lan & Toby Martin and Sealife Park. In February 2025, Doldrums started releasing tracks from their upcoming debut recording with Take Off and F.A.V.E available now on Bandcamp and the full recording slated for release November ’25.
