Welcome to the official myspace of MOONLIT SAILOR - Melodic instrumental post-rock.
Debut CD 'A Footprint Of Feelings' - OUT NOW!
Moonlit Sailor is a young band from a city in Sweden called Borås. The band started out as an indie rock band in 2006 but later developed into an instrumental indie post-rock band. The band released a 7 track CD entitled 'A Footprint Of Feelings' in May-2008 and they also did a two week european tour in june 2008.
Right now Moonlit Sailor is working on new songs for an upcoming album. They are also booking a european tour for october-2009.
' Instead of cheap tricks, they've simply utilized bombastic drumwork and the prettiest guitars to craft one of 2008's most captivating, engaging releases. As an LP, it is on the short side at 27 minutes. But if at the end of the disc I'm left wanting more, then how can I characterize this album as anything but a success? I don't think I can. A Footprint Of Feelings is a success.
This is music that makes me feel. And for me, that's plenty. ' 7.5/10 - The Silent Ballet.com

' As an instrumental guitar band It's quite hard to gather a big fan base and it's quite a few who succeed. It's not the 1960's anymore and instrumental bands with the typical guitar line up doesn't sound like 'The Shadows' these days. However, Moonlit Sailor from Borås, Sweden do have something relevant, and at the same time their music sound very scandinavian.
When you are listening to similar instrumental bands you are often waiting for the vocals to fade in, you don't with Moonlit Sailor. This is because the guitar parts are weaving the songs together with a tremendous clear and shimering sound that is very interesting to listening to.
The tempo of the songs is quite low which in my opinion contributes to raise the material of this CD to another level, just because that it is the atmosphere in the music which is making this band so good. As a indie band with induvidual good songs, Moonlit Sailor would probably not go any further, but when they are giving you a bunch of instrumental songs and still keep it interesting after listening for a while you get a impression that is substantial. Occasionally when you get a similar collection of songs to listen to they attend to be very anonymous, but in this case the relationship between the songs are justified.
The songs from my copy of this CD had no titels, but it doesn't matter when the music is this good. I hope Moonlit Sailor continues this way, I am impressed! ' 4/5 - muzic.se

' This post-rock band from Sweden is much in the same vein as other counterparts Explosions In The Sky, Saxon Shore, Six Parts Seven, and Unwed Sailor to name a few. Non-assuming in nature, there are patterns of swelling and subsiding, like an ocean wave are pounded out in this modern rock masterpiece.
This may sound to my wife as constant noise going nowhere, but I personally get it. With songs like the title, “Night Stroll” and “Waterfall”, it compares easily to the crescendo and decrescendo of a classical orchestral suite. The rising and falling is what can easily draw the listener in, Regrettably, much of the post-rock genre will not catch on in any vein of the mainstream or the “alternative rock” mainstream. This is a good thing for those fans that want to keep this stuff to themselves, but a larger audience is missing out on something beautiful in this music without words. I just wish this were longer ' 9.5/10 - tollbooth.org
