Founded in 2017 in Minsk, Belarus, and now residing in Los Angeles, MOLCHAT DOMA stands at the intersection of post punk, new wave and synth pop. Dark yet danceable, and with a heavy dose of goth ethos,

 

Their music is reminiscent of the masters that predate them, but make no mistake: Molchat Doma creates

 

A sound and meaning that is immediately recognizable as all their own.

 

 

The band is comprised of Egor Shkutko, who sings the Russian lyrics in his deep monotone, Roman Komogortsev on guitar, synths, and drum machine, and Pavel Kozlov on bass and synths. The band's influences include Perestroika-era Russian groups such as Kino, as well as post-punk and synth pop staples like The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode, and the Human League.

 

Molchat Doma released their first two albums that grew the band’s name through word of mouth. Sophomore album Etazhi (“Floors”) went through numerous pressings in Europe before Sacred Bones signed the band in early 2020.

 

 

The third album Monument was released in 2020.

 

The band will release their anticipated fourth album, Belaya Polosa, on September 6, 2024.

 

 

 

Molchat Doma went viral in 2020 garnering over one million views on YouTube and becoming a legitimate phenomenon on Bandcamp. Then the same year a track from their second album, “Судно (БорисРыжий)” (“Bedpan (BorisRyzhy)”), gained viral popularity on TikTok.

 

The band spent most of 2022 and 2023 touring the world (North & South America, UK & Europe, Australia) playing sold out shows at sizeable venues such as Terminal 5 in NYC, Shrine Expo Hall in LA, Kentish Town Forum O2 in London as well as festivals like Coachella, Cruel World and Primavera. They have a worldwide tour schedule planned for end of 2024 into end of 2025.
