Kauan started by Anton Belov (Helengard, inea) in February 2005 and up to this moment had changed their name and genre - they started as a folk black band, then moved to the direction of folk doom with their sophomore album, and could now be considered as a folk rock band.
In September 2006 Lubov Mushnikova joined the band as a violin player. The band has worked with other people as well but none of them eventually fit the band’s conception. During the recording of their first album some session members were invited to play cello and saxophone.
After the release of the first album, “Lumikuuro” (BadMoodMan Music, 2007), Alexander Borovich left the band. By now Kauan have recorded their second album “Tietäjän laulu”, which was released by BMM Music in the late 2008.
In late 2009, Kauan released their third album, “Aava tuulen maa”. At this point the band changed their genre to atmospheric folk rock, post-rock with sad and melancholic variations which has always been a distinctive mark of Kauan
Current line-up:
Anton Belov – guitar, vocals, keys, programming
Lyubov Mushnikova – violin
