Eskimo
Mute
INDIE
In 1979 “punk” music was all the rage. THE RESIDENTS had gone though the punk stage three years earlier with the release of ‘Satisfaction’ and were ready for anything that was not punk.
They decided it was a good time to make the jump into world music, since by their own calculations it would not become popular for several more years. Discouraged until seeing a large Coke sign featuring Santa Claus they immediately they realized they had overlooked the North pole because it is made of ice and therefore didn’t exist on their world map.
The story unfolds as ‘Eskimo’ fables, a lived experience, set to the grinding of sound effects and music. It is a mind movie rich with detail. ‘Eskimo’ is, quite literally, a unique experience.
ANDY GILL (NME) “one of the most important albums ever made.”
