Q: How does it feel to be crushed by one man with the strength of a million?A: I have no idea. But it's the name of Eskimo & Sons' first EP, so maybe they know.
Sweet piano and guitar pop is the way of Eskimo & Sons, Danielle Sullivan's dulcet vocals providing the driving force of songs that are effortlessly perfect, with instrumentation that, rather than striving to keep up, only seeks to complement. It works! This is a feat all indie pop bands strive to achieve, but few pull off to quite this degree. Apparently the boys in the band begged and begged Danielle to join their ranks, and goodness, I'm so glad they did. Hailing from Portland, Oregon...they're not Canadian!
(If you read this shit regularly, you'll know that I write about Canadians and Swedes constantly, and being neither Canadian nor Swedish, why I do this is a mystery to me. If you don't read TGH regularly, now you know.)
