Eskimeaux to Reissue Two Mountains LP + FREE MP3

Eskimeaux is the recording project of songwriter and producer Gabrielle Smith, also a founding member of The Epoch, a Brooklyn-based songwriting and art collective. Smith started using the moniker in 2007, releasing experimental and noise albums, and developing the sound over the years into the realm of more structured songwriting. 2011's Two Mountains, 2012's EDM, and her new album, O.K., capture her beat-driven and poetic bedroom pop.

Eskimeaux performs live as a four-piece, Gabrielle Smith (vocals and guitar) is supported by Epoch members Oliver Kalb (synthesizer), Felix Walworth (drums), and Jack Greenleaf (bass). The live band replaces the subtleties of the record with a more driving, dynamic approach to the songs.

Two Mountains was recorded in 2010 as a dialogue between Smith and Benjamin Schurr. As former collaborators now living in different states, Smith and Schurr decided to try working together from afar. After finishing up each recording in different bedrooms between the Hudson Valley and Philadelphia, Smith sent them to Schurr in North Carolina to add the finishing touches. Once 11 songs were finished, Two Mountains emerged, originally released only digitally and in a very limited run of handmade CD's. Now, for the first time ever, Two Mountains will be issued on vinyl, cassette, and CD via Yellow K Records. A tentative release date has been set for Fall 2015.
