"For his new album entitled "ESKMO" (Ninja Tune), Brendan has abandoned the strictures of making tracks for the dance floor and the strictures of the 12" single format, and followed his visionary muse. "Before Warp and Planet Mu I kind of fell into the game of making tracks to get released on smaller dance labels, having to cater to 'dance' formulas," he explains. "Over this past couple of years, I feel I've let go of that, and just writing the songs I want to write. I got back to what excited me about making electronic music when I started out, creating these little universes with sound and writing songs."
The album was, he says, written over a six month stretch "in the middle of a whole bunch of personal relationship-type stuff, a lot of deep life-experience type stuff happening that helped the music just bleed out of me. I just poured all those feelings into the music, it's very cathartic. I allowed myself to let go of DJ structure - it's not a 'dance club' album, because that kind of stuff hasn't inspired me in years. This is the first full body of work where I'm singing all over it, and allowing myself to get over that furlough of expression has been really liberating."
The first release on the label following Ninja Tune's 20th Anniversary box set signals a brave new chapter for this artist, and for electronica itself. Dreamy, haunting, full of ghostly funk and inventive sonics, Eskmo serves up electronica with a most human heart." -- Ninja Tune
