moonlit sailor is a young band from a city in Sweden called borås.
the band started out as an indie rock band in late 2006 when the
members were only 16-18 years old. the band had a new interesting
indie rock sound, often described as melodic, emotional and powerfull.
the members of moonlit sailor are the best of friends and met the first
time when they started study in elementary school. at the age of 12,
three of the members started to learn how to play and formed a band.
a couple of years later the fourth member took place and they started
to develop a new sound that eventually turned into a completely new
band, known as moonlit sailor.
in 2007 the band decided to go intrumental. in the creation of the
music the band realized that the intrumental parts were always in
focus. to go intrumental felt natural for the bands further development.
soon after the formation of moonlit sailor the band self-released their
very first demo entitled "moonlit sailor". two years later in may 2008
the band released their first instrumental CD entitled "A Footprint Of Feelings".
the new instrumental songs had a new interesting sound but still you could
hear it was moonlit sailor. the band became for many listeners worldwide
known as a post-rock band with a unique sound based on strong melodies
and dynamics mixed with emotional, captivating and powerfull soundscapes.
in relation to the release of "A Footprint Of Feelings" the band hit the road
and completed their first european tour, containing gigs in sweden, denmark,
germany, czech republic, netherlands and belgium, which they booked and
arranged all by themselves.
the 17th of november 2009, moonlit sailor released their second album
"So Close To Life" on one of the world's most respected independent labels;
Deep Elm Records. "So Close To Life" will also be released in Japan by
XTAL Records in december 2009.
make sure to stay tuned for updates and tour dates etc.
thank you for supporting moonlit sailor!
Reviews of 'A Footprint Of Feelings'
TheSilentBallet.com (7.5/10)
"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."
Music.se (4/5)
"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."
Tollbooth.org (9.5/10)
"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 "

Ödmjukaste Tjänare!! Det är så här att de tre små fräsiga gossarna, Mr.Ahole, Senor Asswipe & Lolita whitetrash som lirar i det eminenta bandet Ahall & the ECE's har fläskat upp två kopiösa punkrock-dängor på myspace. Live ifrån Mormors studio inspelade häromdan. Obrervera att detta är bra dynga som bör kollas upp!
Jaa det hörde faktiskt. =) Sjukt kul i vilket fall, grattis!!
Åh fan, ja det ser lite torftigt ut.. Hur gör ni om ni inte får fler spelningar än vad ni har nu för turnén? Åker ni eller skiter ni i det? För oss är det lite stressigt också, fast vi har redan ett gäng spelningar på rad så vi åker i vilket fall!
Ja såg detta, vore ball att komma förbi och kolla! Vi hörs!
