Belarusian post-punks Molchat Doma (translated ‘Silent Houses’) made their way to Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg this week for two sold out shows on their New Wave Sadness tour. The band features a classic 1980’s new wave sound filled in with elements of post-punk, psychedelic rock, and dark wave.

There were moments listening to this album that I was sure I was hearing the future, and there were moments where I was just as sure that the mid-70s lineup of Canadian prog gods Rush had somehow travelled forward in time and possessed the bodies of younger men to make some of these songs.
If you bite the hand, get louder and defiant A couple of years ago when reviewing grandson’s first EP, a modern tragedy vol. 1, I referred to the multi-talented musician as being an artist to help you survive today’s uneasy world.
