Our Take

Inuit-inspiredd musical odyssey, "Eskimo Preserved", is a frozen feast for the ears courtesy of the enigmatic avant-garde collective known only as The Residents. Originally released in 1979, this album has been thawed out and remastered for a new generation to enjoy.

From the opening ethereal wails of "Walrus Hunt" to the haunting chants of "The Coming of the Crow", The Residents take you on a journey through the icy tundra of their imaginations. With chattering teeth and stomping feet, they paint a sonic landscape that is both alien and familiar, like stumbling upon a hidden igloo in the middle of a bustling city.

The experimental nature of "Eskimo Preserved" is truly what sets it apart. Each track is a sonic experiment, blending traditional Greenlandic throat singing with industrial percussion and electronic manipulation. It's as if the music itself is a living, breathing entity, pulsating and evolving with each passing moment.

Whether you're a seasoned fan of The Residents or a curious newcomer, "Eskimo Preserved" is a chill-inducing journey that is not to be missed. So grab your parka, your snowshoes, and your sense of adventure, and embark on this frozen expedition of sound. Let the icy winds of The Residents carry you away to a world where the only rules are those you make for yourself.
