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.

Wade In
Everything Is Made in China Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just don't get me wrong, I lied
Wade in myself, wade in my, wade in myself, wade in myself
I start to cut the rope behind
Wish I wrote my swan song in time
Stars not running late, I've got the last ticket to the empty train
It will lock me in, the end starts at the beginning
The lyrics to "Wade In" by Everything Is Made in China are somewhat cryptic, but there are some themes that can be discerned. The phrase "words stuck in my head denied" could refer to the feeling of being unable to express oneself fully, perhaps because of fear or doubt. The following line, "just don't get me wrong, I lied," could suggest a sense of guilt for not being truthful or open about one's thoughts and feelings.
The repeated refrain of "wade in myself" seems to be a call to take action, to confront one's own inner turmoil and face it head-on. The line "I start to cut the rope behind" could indicate a desire to break free from one's current circumstances, to sever ties with the past and move forward. The mention of a "swan song" suggests the possibility of impending doom or an ending, but there is also the implication that it could have been avoided if the singer had acted differently.
The final lines of the song, "stars not running late, I've got the last ticket to the empty train / it will lock me in, the end starts at the beginning," could be interpreted in a number of ways. It could be a metaphor for the inevitability of death, or a more abstract statement about the cyclical nature of life. The idea of having the "last ticket" could suggest that the singer has come to some sort of realization or acceptance, but the fact that the train is "empty" implies a sense of isolation or emptiness.
