Their first release "4" appeared in summer 2007 at a canadian recording studio "Chemical Sound" in Toronto, Ontario. Supported by the internet campaign this album received good critics and inchoated successful touring in Russia. Rolling Stone pronounced eimic to be the most promising russian post-rock band.
Their second album "Automatic Movements" (also recorded at Chemical Sound studio) was released in 2009. On this album the band started to lean towards more song-oriented music, parting ways with post-rock influences which were present on their debut album.
Drummer Alexey Zotov left the band shortly after the album release, and Alexander Bykov took his place.
In 2012, EIMIC released two singles, "Parade" and "Illusion". These two releases marked a change in the band's musical style, featuring experiments with samples and more synthesizer-based sound.
Their third album "Amber" was released in 2013, сontinuing the band's style evolution. At the time of the album release, EIMIC started to label themselves as an electronic band.
The following year, the band released a single "Through Daybreak / Into the Dark", and a remix EP. There were plans for an album release later that year. However, the band went on hiatus, which was officially announced only in 2015. Later in 2015, it was announced that Philip Prem'yak has left the band.
In late 2016, EIMIC announced their return. New single "Animal Fight Club (Part1&2)" was released. Also, the band played their first show as a duo, consisting of Maxim Fyodorov and new drummer Sergey Govorun (formerly of Мои Ракеты Вверх and 7раса).
The band's fourth album "Acquired Taste" was released in 2017.
Band members:
* Maxim Fyodorov: guitar / vocal / keyboards & programming

Buy 4 Take One Free
Everything Is Made in China Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You come out wrapped in a towel, highlights yesterday ends today
What is your favourite question on the Larry King show
You wake up behind the window, you're a dreamer waiting for hurricane
What time, when, what time are you falling?
It fits you and scrolling in his head
I want you back, you choose to come down
Buy 4 take 1 free, it's not fiction,
Finish your puzzle picture, take care, sleep well and never look back
All your incoming calls are upstairs, try some new TV-programmes
Don’t be upset cause it’s all over
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
It's just superstitious, it's just superstitious
The lyrics of "Buy 4 Take One Free" by Everything Is Made in China are open to interpretation, but they seem to capture a sense of disorientation and detachment in the modern world. The first lines suggest that promises and connections are easily lost in the constant stream of updates and information, while the next lines describe a person who is waiting for something to happen but seems disconnected from the world around them. The lyrics continue to paint a picture of a person who is trying to find meaning in their life, asking questions about their favorite talk show and trying to distract themselves with TV programs and shopping deals.
The chorus of the song introduces the idea of superstition, suggesting that the person's attempts to find meaning and connection are ultimately futile and based on irrational beliefs. The repetition of the phrase "it's just superstitious" reinforces this sense of doubt and skepticism.
Overall, the lyrics of "Buy 4 Take One Free" suggest that the modern world can be overwhelming and isolating, and that people often try to find meaning and connection in ways that may be ultimately unsatisfying or even harmful.
