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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Residents' rescheduled Eskimo tour will be coming to a town near you this Fall - see residents.com for details.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHERRY RED RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"10 Inch EP","offer_id":58538573824344,"sku":"TKM-45004","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4266\/0184\/files\/WMG_20260624_1528_154148_808_p_page_43_image_4_028.jpg?v=1790093201","url":"https:\/\/truckmusic.store\/products\/the-residents-eskimo-folk-tales","provider":"Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
