The band was on a hiatus from 2008 and they announced their return to studio in April 2015.
The band was formed in January 2002 and is named for the Crimean city Yevpatoria (romanized from Ukrainian as Evpatoria), in which the radio telescope RT-70 P-2500 is located. It sends messages into space, including A Message From Earth and Cosmic Call, that try to describe human life or "the Evpatoria message".
