One eskimO CD Review and Links

I recently discovered a fun music CD to listen to while driving the kids around for our summer adventures! One eskimO's self-titled debut album is a nice mix of light and heavier sounds and emotions. They're a British band that can run from pop to a more alternative sound without getting too serious. I liked the popular track "Kandi", but also enjoyed many of the others including Hometime and Chocolate (I can never resist this!). I wasn't able to catch them when they played Ybor City in Tampa recently, but I've heard the show was good. There's a free download of "Astronauts" from the CD, and I'm providing the link below - courtesy of the band!

One eskimO is a critically-acclaimed English band fronted by singer-songwriter Kristian Leontiou and includes musicians Pete Rinaldi (guitar), Jamie Sefton (bass, horns) and Adam Falkner (drums).


They currently have the #1 adult alternative song called 'Kandi' which you may have already heard since it's the most played song on all adult rock radio 4 weeks and counting


Billboard Magazine calls One eskimO's self-titled debut album "...catchy, ambient pop." and Los Angeles Times Magazine hails the song "Kandi" “a beautiful, aspirational track.” The album is available in stores now.


The album release comes in tandem with a full length animated film. “Hometime”, one of the tracks that an animated short was first done with proved to be quite a sensation. It received numerous honors at film festivals around the world, as well as a 2008 British Animation Award.


Band is on tour May/June/July supporting Michael Franti and in addition to festivals and headlining shows
