THE RESIDENTS RETURN WITH AN ALL-NEW EP - SIX NEW PIECES PICKING UP WHERE THEIR 'ESKIMO' MASTERPIECE LEFT OFF!
BRAND NEW RECORDINGS BASED ON ORIGINAL FOLK TALES HANDED TO THE RESIDENTS BY THE MYSTERIOUS N. SENADA.
INCLUDES INDIVIDUAL STORY TEXTS PLUS THE BONUS TRACK 'THE ARCTIC FOX’.
In the 1970s, as The Residents worked on their ‘Eskimo’ masterpiece, their mentor The Mysterious N. Senada sent them a collection of handwritten Inuit folk tales, suggesting they incorporate them into the album. But the group shelved them, having gathered more than enough stuff themselves by that point, leaving them to gather dust.
Here and now, almost 50 years later, The Residents have revived those folk tales as part of their forthcoming 'Eskimo' live performance, blending them with familiar elements of the original 'Eskimo' album and new music to produce the soon-to-be-classic show. We present a studio recording of those new songs, alongside read-along stories, as written down by Senada almost half a century ago.
This is not a new side of 'Eskimo', but a modern interpretation of material which might, in another universe, have found its way onto the original.
The Residents' rescheduled Eskimo tour will be coming to a town near you this Fall - see residents.com for details.
