The Black Comedies

**The Black Comedies** are a moody Athenian indie/post-punk outfit that emerged in the late 2010s, blending brooding guitar textures and poetic Greek lyrics to soundtrack urban melancholia. Known for their DIY ethos and raw, atmospheric live shows, they’ve become cult favorites in Greece’s underground scene with releases like *Ζαχαροπλαστείο* (2022) and *Ομίχλη* (2023), which fuse post-punk grit with nods to Greek new wave. Their work often explores themes of alienation and modern decay, delivered through frontman Alex K’s deadpan vocals and reverb-drenched instrumentation. While they maintain a deliberately enigmatic presence, their growing discography—including the starkly introspective *Δρόμοι* (2024)—solidifies them as torchbearers of Greece’s contemporary alternative revival.
