THE RESIDENTS 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: On their Eskimo album - which is in part famous because of its creepy artwork - The Residents explore with music, found sounds and sonic collages, the legends and myths of north America's native coastal tribes. The group travelled to the area to make field recordings, learn from and record with those peoples and then left for home with what they found. It took years for the album to come out and now it arrives with a booklet on double 12". It's pretty freaky to be honest - weird vocals, eerie synth whispers, distant animal grunts and breaking waves all make for unsettling and hugely evocative soundscapes.
