On this date in 1979, The Residents released their sixth album, Eskimo. It was a six track album with a theme---their version of life in the arctic complete with inuit sounds. No singles were released from the album. Oddly enough, when the album was re-released on CD, four bonus tracks were added, none of which had anything to do with life in the arctic. The San Francisco avant-garde band began in Shreveport, Louisiana but moved to San Francisco early on. They continue to release music.

A cliche to say it, but this is an album that everyone should hear once, especially if you like a barren Arctic vibe. I discovered it only a few years ago and fell in love with it, sometimes play it out of the car at a good volume driving through the city.
