Brendan Angelides is a San Francisco based electronic music producer who has been making music under the moniker Eskmo since 1999. His new LP is entitled Eskmo and is the first release on the Ninja Tune label following the release of . It’s a dark, crunchy and glitchy production, full of real emotion. Eskmo wanted to break away from the boundries of making tracks to fit the dance floor scene and follow his own creative, unique path. Here’s what he said about this…

‘…I kind of fell into the game of making tracks to get released on smaller dance labels, having to cater to 芒鈧�藴dance芒鈧�鈩� formulas,芒鈧�聺 he explains. 芒鈧�艙Over this past couple of years, I feel I芒鈧�鈩�ve let go of that, and just writing the songs I want to write. I got back to what excited me about making electronic music when I started out, creating these little universes with sound and writing songs.’

The record was written over a six month stretch and is also the first in which Eskmo sings on almost every track…

‘…in the middle of a whole bunch of personal relationship-type stuff, a lot of deep life-experiences happening that helped the music just bleed out of me. I just poured all those feelings into the music, it芒鈧�鈩�s very cathartic. This is the first full body of work where I芒鈧�鈩�m singing all over it, and allowing myself to get over that furlough of expression has been really liberating.’

Throughout the record the bass is deep and warbly and the drips and clanks and crunch of found sound that Eskmo injects into each song makes for a chameleon like soundscape that will keep you, the listener, engaged from start to end. With all the layers of sound Eskmo weaves into this record ranging from disconnected ghostly samples and skittery unpredictable synths to his own haunting vocals that paralyze it would be very easy to feel overwhelmed and turn your ears and brain right off.

That won’t happen with this record. Eskmo is a masterful producer who knows how to find balance between the avant garde and the traditional.

Eskmo puts on a great, great live show too. I was able to catch him at this years Decibel Festival and the deep grooves and odd sound groupings found on the record were translated beautifully to the live setting. The beats and thumps emanating from the stage crawled inside my body, embedded themselves in my veins and it was impossible not to sway and bounce to the music. Another great thing about the Eskmo live set that made his performance stand out from the rest was that Brendan actually sang live on top of his inventively dreamy beats which added a nice human element to the music which isn’t found at some electronic shows.
