A couple of months ago, Molchat Doma announced their new album Belaya Polosa and released the lead single “Son.” Today, the Belarusian post-punks are back with the sinister title track and North American tour dates.
“Written in LA after more than a year of living in a new place, the song captures the interplay of past and present,” the band said. “It reflects the realization that you’re no longer drawn to where you left, yet you don’t completely sever ties. It’s as if life has been paused. The lyrics explore self-understanding across time, the evolution of your social circle, and an outsider’s view of people from a ‘past life.’”
Below, check out the Ambar Navarro-directed music video for “Belaya Polosa” and see the group’s upcoming shows.
