Molchat Doma - Belaya Polosa
Belarusian post-punk / synth pop group Molchat Doma have always exuded the kind of brutalist aesthetic of the architecture that adorns their album art. Itâs cold, gray, imposing, industrialâand yet there are human hearts beating within those foundations. In the wake of their breakthrough success in 2020, the trio endured a polarity of experiences, from the nadir of an uprooted life and forced relocation away from their native Minsk to the apex of head- lining massive shows across the world. It was in this headspace that the band settled into their new home of Los Angeles to finish writing their fourth album Belaya Polosa, a testament to change in difficult times, a love letter to the digital pulse of the â90s, and a technicolor reinvention of the bandâs somber dancefloor anthems.
From the opening synth swell and drum machine throb of âTy Zhe Ne Znaeshâ Kto Ya,â to the goth / post-punk austerity of âSonâ, to the swirling electronic textures mixed with reverb- drenched guitar flourishes, expansive space, and yearning vocals of title track âBelaya Polosaâ - that suggests Depeche Mode at their most reflective or The Cure at their most downtrod- den - to the sultry and seductive âChernye Cvetyââ a track reminiscent of Duran Duranâs early â90s output in its fusion of dreamy guitars and authoritative mechanized beats â and the interwoven layers of instrumentation, soaring chorus, and melodic sophistication of âYa Tak Ustalâ, itâs clear that Molchat Doma are operating on another level.
