hm, though they sound quite nice,
I dislike: 1) how typically "indie" they sound
2) the vocals.. too somewhat british for me

yes I have listened to that band.
and well, it's not about them being originated from England or something, he just has this strange almost-British thing going on with his voice. it quite annoys me :)

Could be my favourite band ever! I doubt Eskimo Snow is gonna be as good as Alopecia, or Elephant Eyelash for that matter, but I'm sure I'm gonna dig it anyways.

Thoughts on "The Blackest Purse"?

I think it's brilliant.

Sure, why not?

And The blackest purse, yeah I dig it. I hope it's not the strongest track on the album though. I heard there's no rapping what so ever on the new album, which is kind of a bummer. I like Yoni's spoken, deep-voice semi-singing rap or whatever you wanna call it.

Title: Re: Why?
Post by: ben on Jul 24, 2009, 04:05 PM
no, but I can see how it could be anyone's favorite band.  Because people are people and have their own specific thoughts and opinions on every piece of data they come across.

Bump.

More people need to check out these guys. They're REALLY growing on me.

Especially 'Elephant Eyelash'. Such a cool album. Really different sound. I think their sound is kinda sad and melancholic. Suits my mood at the moment.

Post by: raynor on Sep 24, 2009, 01:49 PM
So yeah, Eskimo Snow ain't that great. It's not bad, I listen to it every now and then, but not so awesome as previous albums. After all, it's just "leftovers" from Alopecia anyway so I'm not worried.

Been reppin' these guys since early '08. Seriously love them. One of my top favorites. Eskimo Snow took a little while to grown on me but I instantly LOVED Elephant Eyelash and Alopecia. They were one of the most spectacular live bands in the freakin' world until the became a five piece but at least the extra manpower affords them the ability to play a lot of songs that they wouldn't have been able to pull off too well before.

Yoni is one of the dopest lyricists in the world.
