Freedom Voyagers is a post-rock band which was founded in the autumn of 2009, in Russia, Irkutsk city in Siberia. The members of the band were rehearsing when they were able to, in the small lodge of one industrial complex. The name of the band is taken from the book of Kenzaburo Oe "The Waters Are Come in unto My Soul". The members of the band do not identify themselves with heroes of this book, (who call themselves Freedom Voyagers), but they consider that this title is more convenient for describing what they create. The band members are Nikita, Ilya and Valentin.
Let's hear their own words about their EP; "Freedom Voyagers say hello to such Russian post-rock bands as Mooncake and Belye Flagi Zazhigaite Medlenno and hope that true Russian love will never die despite the trials and tribulation taking place at home. Besides the persistent drum and bass rhythms and long massive guitar passages, the listener can hear the loneliness, anxiety, calmness, and bliss that thread throughout our life."
