MOLCHAT DOMA

Molchat Doma, an enigmatic and stirring post-punk trio hailing from Belarus, sets the stage with their broodingly atmospheric synth-driven music. The group, formed in 2017, has quickly clambered up the ladder of music world fame, making significant waves within the industry. Their eerie aesthetic and heavy, haunting tunes, complemented by ennui-laden Russian lyrics, etched them in the collective consciousness of post-punk fans globally.

The band's music videos deserve a unique mention for their captivating cinematic tales. Their memorable video for “Zvezdy”, directed by Alexey Yurenev, has a black-and-white aesthetic with a base in Soviet-era architecture and visuals, echoing the nostalgia and melancholy invoked by their music. Moreover, "Sudno", a cult hit of the group, birthed a video of quirky inventiveness. The video starts with lead singer Egor Shkutko popping out from a washing machine, funhouse mirror-style effects, and a spontaneously combustible dinner that provides a singular viewing experience. Did you know Shkutko, when asked about the peculiar start in “Sudno”, chuckled and mentioned that it was the coziest place they found during the shot? They also released an enchanting music video for "Discoteque" that morphs the band into characters of an aged video game, shimmying their way through different stages, providing a tongue-in-cheek commentary on life, societal pressure, and the constant pursuit of happiness.
