Dive into the hauntingly beautiful journey that is Molchat Doma's second studio album, "Этажи" (meaning "Floors"). Released in 2018, this masterful blend of post-punk, new-wave, and synth-pop pulls listeners into a world where darkness meets the dance floor. This Belarusian trio, hailing from Minsk, has been enchanting fans since their formation in 2017, creating a sound that is deeply rooted in a goth ethos yet distinctly their own.
As Egor Shkutko's deep, monotone Russian vocals sweep over the lo-fi yet refined '80s-influenced production, the atmospheric soundscapes crafted by Roman Komogortsev on guitar, synths, and drum machine and Pavel Kozlov on bass and synths become the lifeblood of this album. With standout tracks like "На дне" ("At the Bottom") echoing the essence of New Order, and "Судно (Борис Рыжий)" ("Bedpan (Boris Ryzhy)"), a TikTok sensation derived from a poem by Boris Ryzhy, each song unfurls a new chapter in this emotive, introspective tale. "Этажи" solidifies Molchat Doma’s place as a significant force in the post-punk and synth-pop genres, encapsulating a nostalgic yet forward-looking artistry. -
