Everything Is Made In China
How many bands from Russia can you honestly say you’ve heard of? Of those bands, how many can you say are actually good? Until a few months ago, I could honestly say “zero” and I’m sure you can’t even count them on one hand. I gave up even paying attention… until I was invited to the Illosaarirock Festival in Joensuu, Finland. Looking over the roster, I noticed one band on the 2 day long festival from Moscow called Everything Is Made In China. Awesome name. Could they actually worth listening to, though? “Probably not,” my Russian friend said “there are 3,500 bands in St. Petersburg alone and not a single one even knows how to play their instruments.”
We were both wrong. EIMIC took the stage and absolutely mesmerized the entire crowd. 1000 people stood in perfect silence as the band fill the tent with lush synths, beautiful melodies and epic, Caspian style drums keeping everyone entranced. I immediately got my hands on their debut album, 4 (2007), and didn’t stop listening for months… Now they have a new record in the works, a new video (posted below for the track “Automatic”) and a fan here in the US hoping that someone will put the record out.
