Belarusian post-punk band Molchat Doma was a world away from Minsk when they finished writing their fourth album “Belaya Polosa.” The view from Los Angeles may have been sunnier, but the brooding trio maintained the dark reflections of challenging times in their homeland for the release. The album continues their clear reverence for the goth stylings of dark wave music from decades past. It also pays homage and reinvents the genre ever so slightly while offering up a pleasing, if bleak, landscape.
