After a hiatus of 8 years, the renowned Russian electronic post-rock band I am waiting for you last summer returns to China for a tour, bringing their latest album ‘Without/Within’ to nine cities for a revamped live performance. If you have witnessed their performances in 2014 or 2016, you must remember their explosive and impactful shows. Without further endorsement, I believe you wouldn’t want to miss this exciting tour. If you regret missing their previous tours, don’t let this unique audio-visual feast pass you by.

I am waiting for you last summer was established in 2011 and became a resident member of the independent label Flowers Blossom In the Space in 2013, releasing their debut studio album ‘Edge Party’ in January of the same year. The album showcased iwfyls’s talent, merging lively electronic beats with spatial and imaginative instrumentals, captivating listeners with its ethereal and dreamy atmosphere. You can hear a mix of experimental, electronic, instrumental, and post-rock elements in this album, intertwined yet distinct.

Towards the end of the year following the release of ‘Edge Party’, iwfyls launched their new album ‘In Eternal Lines’. Compared to their previous work, iwfyls focused more on atmosphere and emotional progression while maintaining their post-rock style, making the overall style more profound and restrained. ‘Retreat’ starts with a soothing rhythm, gradually leading into intense beats and complex instrumentals, offering a step-by-step auditory experience. ‘Lights Go Out’ creates a dark and oppressive atmosphere, expressing strong and deep emotions, which was the desired effect when iwfyls produced the album. This epic album also made iwfyls famous in the Russian post-rock scene, followed by a tour across more than 70 cities in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, with tickets selling out for every show. All attendees were amazed by iwfyls’s unique passion and coolness.

In 2015, the prolific iwfyls released their first concept album ‘Mirrors’, which, from the album cover design to the overall music arrangement, presented a strong outer space science fiction atmosphere. Listening attentively, you might feel like you’re wandering in the mysterious, deep, and vast outer space, with the unique dark, profound, and lonely feelings of post-rock music enveloping you. This might be related to Alex’s recent work on the soundtracks for Hollywood movies like ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ and ‘X-Men’. During this period, iwfyls also became more mature and innovative, with their music not only continuing the previous works’ full expression of speed and gravity but also boldly exploring in style and concept.

In the following years, iwfyls’s works became increasingly dark and profound, attempting to capture the melancholic essence of the soul and expressing it through their musical language.
