"Molchat Doma’s music is so mystically self-possessed that it’s hard not to wish you were part of the magic, too." –  Pitchfork

"This album embraces its darkness, but doesn’t wallow in hopelessness. Instead, the music listens like an apocalyptic dance party, fusing post-punk, new wave and synth-pop to create a moody but compulsively listenable record." - 8/10 Loud & Quiet

Founded in Minsk, Belarus, and now based in Los Angeles, Molchat Doma went viral in 2020 when their single ‘Sudno (Boris Ryzhy)’ appeared in hundreds of thousands of TikTok videos. The track eventually peaked at number two on the Spotify Global Viral 50 chart and has amassed over 350 million streams. 

In the wake of their breakthrough success and release of their anticipated third album Monument, 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 headlining massive shows and festivals 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 ‘90s, and a technicolour reinvention of the band’s somber dancefloor anthems.  

From the opening synth swell and drum machine throb of ‘Ty Zhe Ne Znaesh’ Kto Ya’, it’s clear that Molchat Doma are operating on another level. Belaya Polosa propels them into a new direction, encapsulating the band’s sonic development and their behind-the-scenes struggles, while retaining the cold minimalist delivery they’re known for.  

Watch: Molchat Doma -  ‘Ty Zhe Ne Znaesh’ Kto Ya’

Dark yet danceable, and infused with a heavy dose of goth ethos, their music is reminiscent of the masters who predate them - but make no mistake, Molchat Doma create a sound and meaning that is unmistakably their own. 

Australia, get ready to experience the darker side of the dancefloor when Molchat Doma arrive this December. Tickets on sale Tuesday 14 October.
