A few years removed from TikTok virality, the Belarusian band sharpens its blend of ’80s goth rock and post-Soviet melancholia. The new album is more ebullient and captivating, though the energy can sometimes lag.

Four years ago, the Belarusian post-punk band Molchat Doma went viral on TikTok, and their take on post-Soviet melancholy became the soundtrack to moody videos made across the globe. Since then, Russia has accelerated its ongoing attacks on Ukraine, and the members of Molchat Doma have had to leave home. Now they live among Los Angeles’ palm trees, far from the oxidizing Eastern bloc with which they’ve been so closely associated—but their melancholy remains. On Belaya Polosa, their fourth album (and first since 2020), Molchat Doma continues to channel ’80s goth-rock sounds in service of their particular brand of gloom, bringing more ebullient, confident instrumentation into the mix.
