Monument (Egg Drop Vinyl)

Monument is the perfect title for the third album of the Belarusian trio Molchat Doma. It truly stands as a symbol of all they've achieved in a short time. From being little - known, they've become underground icons and viral sensations with hundreds of thousands of TikTok videos using their music. Returning as heroes, Molchat Doma expand on their minimalist style from previous albums to achieve a more maximalist post - punk sound. Written and recorded during the COVID - 19 quarantine in Minsk, Monument shows a significant improvement in songwriting and quality. The band is in full control, whether they're creating a dance - worthy synth - pop anthem like “Discoteque” or working on introspective pre - pandemic favorites. Their songwriting, always their strong suit, has only gotten better. As their arrangements become more complex, so do the sounds they use. Roman Komogortsev and Pavel Kozlov use a wide range of synthesizers and drum machines precisely. Egor Shkutko's vocals smoothly shift between his trademark deadpan and an expressive croon, with his Russian lyrics being both bleak and romantic. With Monument, Molchat Doma have expanded their musical scope while keeping what made them great.

To enjoy this album, simply insert the Egg Drop Vinyl into a suitable record player. Make sure the player is properly set up and the needle is in good condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. Clean the vinyl occasionally with a soft, anti - static brush to keep the sound quality at its best. Don't play the vinyl too roughly as it can cause scratches and affect the listening experience.
