The original version of the track was recorded in Marfa, TX, before the band commenced official tracking for 'Shields' in Cape Cod and New York, and was released earlier this month on 'Shields Expanded' and 'Shields B-Sides.' The collections build on their acclaimed 2012 iTunes Album of the Year with exclusive b-sides, demos, and remixes.

'Shields' was released to some of 2012's best reviews, with Pitchfork calling it "magnificently epic" and the NY Times hailing it as "enthralling." The band performed tracks from the album on Colbert, Fallon, Letterman, Leno, Austin City Limits, and Ellen, and played their biggest headlining and international festival shows to date.

There Are Monsters In This Bed

Fusilier writes:  "I’m selling myself short here so whatever relationship I was taking about was never going to work. The whole song is me trying to compromise too much. I’m singing at the top of my range, I’m playing an instrument that I hate but by the end I just do what I would’ve done anyway and drop it. It was all worth it for that song though."

Sometimes I hold you
Just to make you stay
Or to shield you 
From what I could say

About the way I feel (slow down)
Falling fast (slow down)

Sometimes I wonder 
What you see in me 
Do we make summer 
Or have a stormy spring?

What’s in your heart (Tell me) 
Is it love?

Tell me, 
That I’m not alone loving by myself 
Cause I’m head over heels you control yourself 
Show me that you’re lost and you need my help 
In this love

Now I see you 
In my fantasy 
You and me at the Oscars 
A film about our history

When does it start (Action) 
And what’s our reaction?

You’ve got me thinking 
That I”m not alone loving by myself 
But I’m head over heel you control yourself 
Show me that you’re lost and you need my help 
In this love

Show me you’re lost by yourself 
Show me all of yourself 
--- everything I know 
About being alone 
You’re everything I love

Eskmo: “Language” EP (Ancestor) ANC006 – Release Date: October 30, 2012

Pay what you want for these tracks at www.Eskmo.com

Press release:

Brendan Angelides is a Los Angeles-based electronic music producer who records and performs live as Eskmo. His multi-genre compositions have been featured on influential labels like Ninja Tune, Warp Records and Planet Mu. While Angelides’ tracks encompass a wide range of electronic styles, he avoids classifications. Much like his previous releases, ‘Language’ is reflective and constantly exploring new terrain. The album cover, which was created by Trek Matthews for the project, shows the Egyptian god Thoth who is the master of writing, magic, science and healing. Above him are the merging of sun and moon and Ouroboros. The themes within the tracks range from the Self to relationship, fear, nostalgia and the sonic interpretation of not folding as expressed in “World of Dread.” The ‘Language’ EP oozes classic Eskmo textures while diving into emotive rushes, minimally avante-pop melodies and chunky dance aesthetics turned on their head.

His 2010 self-titeld full-length, released on Ninja Tune, was described by Future Sequence as “Create(ing) his own sound.” and BBC Music noted the album as “Electrifyingly enveloping…Mind-melting invention.” Ninja Tune recording artist and film composer Amon Tobin hailed his work as “some of the best production I’ve heard in recent times” in 2009. Shortly thereafter, the pair teamed up to release a collaborative project under the name ESKAMON on Eskmo’s own record label, Ancestor, in early 2010. The ‘Language’ EP is the latest Eskmo release on Ancestor since his collaboration with Tobin.

Stumbler (Buke & Gase Cover!)

In turbulent times we need audacious artists like Fusilier. His just released EP, Upstream (Brassland), features the title track about isolation plus a sinister take on Martha and the Vandellas’ “Dancing in the Street” that ﬁnds the classic twisted into a protest anthem. The Brooklyn-based vocalist and multi-instrumentalist has also released self-directed videos for both songs. [This episode features the full-version of “Upstream” in its entirety.]

Classical Classroom

Classical Classroom Ep 110: Starting From Scratch - Bryce Dessner, Aron Sanchez, & So Percussion

Alec Hanley Bemis, writer and manager of cultural projects, co-founded the Brassland record label in 2001 along with his friends Aaron and Bryce Dessner of the band The National. Over the years, the label has become home to a community of like minded creative musicians who defy category. Last month Alec published a piece in Creative Independent called 19 things I’d tell people contemplating starting a record label (after running one for 19 years). Here we discuss what happened in between.&nbsp; Although this conversation was recorded in the before times of 2019, listening back I am struck by a few particularly interesting ideas that emerge in the talk: the distinction between culture and subculture; that we are now in an era of “constant content”; the shift over time from the taste maker as an institution to the taste maker as an individual personality; and what he describes as “the economy of cool”.    www.brassland.org
