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.

Everything Is Made in China Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last chapter, last chapter becomes the first.
Catch all your phrases, try to get in to your world.
We hold the secret, we hold the secret that we'll never know.
How far we're going to, we'll disappear in time.
You're so close, you're so close, can hear your scent.
Flame of lost stars, flame of lost stars through your eyes.
No need to speak, no need to speak cross the line.
And you were said, nothing is real,
All the tracks, beneath our feat.
Now we're alone, leap in the dark,
We can't replay, we can't replay.
Night flowers fields, conceal us,
No need to stay, no need to stay.
The song "Sleepwalking" by Everything Is Made in China presents itself as a dreamy, surrealistic journey into an unknown world. The opening lines, "I was late, I was late, all roads were closed," suggest that the singer is lost and unable to find their way. The following line, "Last chapter, last chapter becomes the first," implies that something previously unknown is becoming the starting point for their journey. The lyrics "Catch all your phrases, try to get in to your world" hint at the idea of trying to understand someone's perspective, but perhaps the effort is futile, as "we hold the secret that we'll never know."
The chorus, "How far we're going to, we'll disappear in time" speaks to the idea of the impermanence of life, and the fleeting nature of many experiences. The second verse paints a picture of intimacy, with the lines "You're so close, you're so close, can hear your scent" and "No need to speak cross the line." The phrase "Flame of lost stars, flame of lost stars through your eyes" suggests a sense of longing, and perhaps a feeling of being lost in the cosmos. The following lines, "And you were said, nothing is real, all the tracks, beneath our feet" imply that the singer is questioning the nature of reality itself.
The final lines "Now we're alone, leap in the dark, we can't replay, we can't replay. Night flowers fields, conceal us, no need to stay, no need to stay" suggest a sort of acceptance of the unknown, and the fact that sometimes you have to take a leap of faith in order to move forward. The imagery of the "night flowers fields" implies a sense of beauty amidst the darkness. Overall, the song presents a dream-like journey through the unknown, with themes of impermanence, intimacy, and acceptance.

Когда вышла песня, учился на 1 курсе, постоянно её слушал идя домой с пар. С тех пор уже сменил 4 города, переехал в другую страну, до сих пор слушаю eimic и ностальгирую по тем классным беззаботным временам 🥲
