eskimeaux interview

2010-09-03T09:59:00.004-04:00

here is a link to the interview page

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with eskimeaux’s Gabrielle about their upcoming album, live shows, and some of her favorite bands. They’ve got an upcoming tape that will be released via Mine, All Mine! and will be recording a new EP that I’ll be sure to keep you informed about.

Jilian: I was just wondering what has guided you through your most recent recording processes? Any influences, musical or otherwise?

Gabrielle: I have found that since I started eskimeaux I have been in a really transient period of my life. Each album marks the end of a period or the beginning of a new one, or at least what I think is going to be. For example, the most recent album I finished was supposed to mark the true beginning of independence from my family and moving out of New York and into Philadelphia. Musically, my recording processes are most influenced by Brandon Ayres (of Rasputin’s Secret Police, Brandon Can’t Dance, and Gorgeous) and Ben Schurr from Br’er.. Brandon was the reason I realized that I could do home recording. I didn’t really understand that it could be done until I heard his music and he told me that he recorded all of it on the ’Sound Recorder’ program through a pinhole mic. His solo project, Brandon Can’t Dance, was what introduced me to and made me fall instantly in love with the Philadelphia music scene. Ben Schurr taught me everything I know about making quality recordings — that having meager means doesn’t mean that all recordings have to sound totally lo-fi. He also taught me how to be lyrically straightforward and to add dynamics and form to my songs, because I had basically released 4 albums of shapeless stylings with a couple of gems here and there.

Jilian: I noticed on your blog you have been playing more live shows recently. How has your set evolved throughout the past few months?

Gabrielle: Our band has completely sprouted from nothingness to a legitimate live set within the past 2 months. I got really sick of playing shows by myself because I felt like they were missing all of the layers of the recordings. Elliott, of A Stick and A Stone, asked me to play a show with him in Baltimore and I was dreading it because of this. My friend lent me his band to back me up and we played the show after 3 rehearsals. We were pretty bad at that show, but since then we’ve gotten a lot better and I’m really happy with our sound, despite the fact that it is drastically different from the recordings. Our live set has a much more upbeat feeling to it and is more family folk band-ish than the creepy, ethereal sounds of the records.

Jilian: What are you working on now? Any future recording plans?

Gabrielle: I recently finished an album that is going to be released on Mine, All Mine! Records from Madison, Wisconsin. We’re going to be releasing it on tape, though I have yet to come up with a name for the release. As far as future recording plans, I am going to record an EP on a digital 16-track, which will be a huge difference from my usual pinhole-mic-to-garageband approach. Hopefully this recording project will capture more of the live sound of eskimeaux.

Jilian: And what are some of your favorite bands right now, especially Philadelphia ones?

Gabrielle: Aside from Joanna Newsom and Mount Eerie, my favorite Philly bands are A Stick and A Stone (who are playing on July 24th at The Magic Gardens and everyone should go see them. 7pm!!!), Power Animal, Drums Like Machine Guns, and Caring Practice. I am also really obsessed with this band Spirits of the Red City from Minneapolis.

eskimeaux is going to be playing with Dinosaur Feathers on July 23rd at the Danger Danger Gallery (5013 Baltimore Avenue).

recently eskimeaux has been playing a bunch of shows. they've been pretty great. here are some pictures from them:

IT SUCKED AND WAS A FAILURE

that's what's up.

eskimeaux is so backed up

2010-05-26T15:35:00.003-04:00

so many new things are happening. in light of the fact that I Am a Spiral has still not been officially physically released (and at this rate probably never will be), i have felt clogged to unmeasurable proportions. songs that were meant to be re-recorded and released after I Am a Spiral have been sitting in their original demo forms, piling up in what seemed like a useless clump of flotsam and jetsam have formed a nice EP. it will be released soon. more on that shortly.

oh, and power animal tour was COOL.

eskimeaux at The Hexagon and also hillstock

2009-06-08T00:00:00.004-04:00

IT WAS AWESOME

THANK YOU JARED

here is a bit that jared wrote about me on RainbowKolor, his blog:

"...This concert went down at the Hexagon on Wednesday, June 3rd. I first met Gabby by booking Br'er, a weird folk ensemble in which she played several instruments, at the Golden West Cafe. It was then great to discover how rad her own songs are: Eskimeaux draws icy sweet pop from tinsel-toned ukulele and guitar, and her sad, soft vocals lose you in a swell of stori

ed dreams and spirals. What a moving performance she gave; it totally made all the planning and hyping worth it."

- Jared, http://rainbowkolor.blogspot.com

here is me after the show at the hexagon

again.

jared, the trip was worth it. it was awesome. thank you.

IN OTHER NEWS

today was the end of HillStock. it was awesome. everyone who missed it today was an idiot, because today was definitely the best of all three days. laura stevenson was amazing. the end.

hello
i am making a very limited run of exclusive eskimeaux tapes with handmade packaging. each one is different since they are all recorded individually. i think they are pretty cool. they will be available at my show in Washington Square Park on May 24th. i will be playing with Henry Crawford, Felix Walworth, Calamus, and Eskalators.
it will be a blast.

home time is alone time

2009-05-13T01:04:00.004-04:00

everything has been really hectic before/during/since Br'er tour. i have been trying to get these recordings done for the new album, but i left my computer charger in Winston-Salem, NC so i'm stuck in my head until i get that back. if anyone actually reads this and wants to lend me a macbook charger for the mean time, i would be eternally grateful.

in the mean time, i have been able to demo one new song. there are a billion more things that are supposed to happen in this recording that i don't have enough battery to accomplish.

the last show of our tour was only great because we got to see our new friend Noah Britton play. he is amazing. everyone should listen to his music and force/pay him to be a live jukebox in their living rooms.

yup.

in other news, catBruce is in New York now living with a woman named Hillary and her catMarble. he is happy.

since divshare works again, here is the demo.

also, here is a really good song by noah britton.

he asked me what my favorite song of his was and i totally forgot about this one and how it's my favorite.

lately i have been working on random songs here and there. ever since i lent out my macbook to my bandmate darian production has been slow. i left all of my raw music files on his computer, so i have to go get them from him tomorrow. i have been working a lot with br'er and doing recording whenever i can. tonight i finished the frilly philly version of Dreamy Pop Song II (from the previous eskimeaux release "iglu songs"). it will be officially released on The (upcoming) Windstar EP.

here it crappy is.

now it's time for a lol-worthy moment.

2008-04-09T10:20:00.006-04:00

here is what i (don't) have to say.

pandora radio is a life saver, but it's also really depressing. for those of you who haven't heard of it, pandora radio is an internet simulated personally tailored radio. you type in an artist or song that you are in the mood to listen to and it creates a playlist of artists including and related to the one you requested. for example, when i typed in pavement my playlist started with Billie from Terror Twilight and then continued with pixies, superchunk, modest mouse, the strokes, the sea and cake, guided by voices, nirvana, and yo la tengo (so far). you can then go on to give the "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" to the songs selected so that it can further narrow the aesthetic spectrum. my problems began when i started listening to the pavement playlist and suddenly got an urge to listen to Old To Begin. i tried to make an old to begin playlist, but pandora never played it and you can only be unsatisfied so many times before a little pop-up pops up and yells in your face telling you that you simply cannot skip so many songs. now i am generally frustrated and i have old to begin stuck in my head. pandora is great, though, for people like me who are stupid and poor and commit to 9-5 jobs from mom (thus making me an unnecessary and very bored employee, hence why i have condemned myself to blogging (BECAUSE MY OPINION MATTERS)).

in other news, this is what comes up on google when you type in "sad and tired"

i would exclaim "HAHAHA"
but working here gives me heartburn (i wish i meant that in a figurative way, but i actually feel very ill)
and thus, i have no sense of humor

this song would have been the hit single if it didn't have that unfortunately unavoidable element of suck. this is the first song i'm gonna finish, since i have the raw file somewhere in the depths of conor's hard drive. now i can learn to use pro-tools for cereals. ho ho ho ho.

i just put iglu songs on last.fm, mountain dew enjoy.

dear people who have jobs:

how do you do it? please let me know your secrets.

love,

it's done. you can download it at http://www.tamurrecords.org/, but not yet because conor doesn't have it yet. it will be in his inbox soon enough and he will get it tomorrow and probably not put it on the website for another billion years, but it's done. i would just make it downloadable from here, but i should send traffic to the tamur website.
the EP is called

.. / .... .- - . / -. .--- (Di-dit, Di-di-di-dit Di-dah Dah Dit, Dah-dit Di-dah-dah-dah) EP.

translate that, fruity pebbles.

3. Limerick Dream Girl
4. Really Shitty Song
5. Alien Tape Monster
6. Marzipan Syndrome

here, however, is something you CAN download, for music hoarders like me. here's a live track from the golden gays of The Duchess of Lightning.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha. o 2004, you slay me.

2008-03-31T13:08:00.003-04:00

it has been an interesting past few howeverlongs. i have been running around frantically back and forth between new york city, north bergen, and philadelphia making movies, writing songs, drawing, applying to art schools, and helping br'er book a university tour. wahwahweewoh.

i think this is funny:

here is a song that i found in my rampant garageband organizing phase:

eskimeaux - rhododendron

enjoy

2008-03-05T22:37:00.005-05:00
