Eskimo

Eskimo is the sixth studio album by the American experimental rock band the Residents, released in 1979 through Ralph Records. The album was originally supposed to follow 1977's Fingerprince, but due to many delays and arguments with management, it was not released until 1979. The pieces on Eskimo feature home-made instruments and chanting against backdrops of wind-like synthesizer noise and miscellaneous sound effects. The work is programmatic, each piece pairing music with text detailing a corresponding pseudo-ethnographic narrative. While Eskimo is officially maintained to be a true historical document of life in the Arctic, the stories are deliberately absurd fictions loosely based on actual Inuit culture, and the chanting is a combination of gibberish and commercial slogans. The album satirizes ignorance toward and mistreatment of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
