“Belarusian post-punk / synth pop group Molchat Doma have always exuded the kind of brutalist aesthetic of the architecture that adorns their album art. It’s cold, gray, imposing, industrial—and yet there are human hearts beating within those foundations. In the wake of their breakthrough success in 2020, 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 head-lining massive shows 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 technicolor reinvention of the band’s somber dance floor anthems (Sacred Bones).

“Sacred Bones Records has shared I Fall in Love With the Light, a new compilation benefiting bands on the label who were forced to cancel tours in the wake of COVID-19. The comp features new, rare, and unreleased tracks by Black Marble, Blanck Mass, Föllakzoid, Jenny Hval, Molchat Doma, Moon Duo, Pharmakon, SPELLLING, Uniform, Uniform & The Body and Hilary Woods. Sacred Bones are waiving their cut of sales on this compilation and giving 100% of proceeds to the affected artists. The release is a Bandcamp exclusive, and Bandcamp are also waiving their cut of sales today, March 20, 2020.”
