"Moonlit Sailor isn't reinventing the post-rock genre. They are well on their way to perfection it"

Moonlit sailor is a four piece indie-postrock band from Borås, Sweden. 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. The tour were 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. Moonlit Sailor is currently signed to Deep Elm Records and have also released records on record labels in Japan and China.
