Houses Are Silent - to use the English language translation of Belarusian post-punk and cold wavers Molchat Doma - have managed to buck the trend of nobody in the West really paying much attention to the Belarusian music scene by rising to underground prominence since they formed in 2017. Helped in no small part by finding a way into the record bags of tastemakers on radio stations like NTS, one listen to their work and you'll wonder why you're not moving to their homeland to find more bands to love, clear issues with oppressive politics aside.

Taking big influences from 1980s Russian rock music - another scene that's criminally under-explored by many people in our corner of the world - nostalgic hues cover every inch of this record, and yet it's also forward thinking. Like a sci-fi movie from the past. It's harmonious, dark, moody, uplifting, heart-wrenching and eerie. Basically, buy it.
