Paramount
Eskimo Recordings is proud to present the new Paramount EP of temporarily China based disco advocate Blende. Early support from Oliver, Phonat, The Aston Shuffle, Kraak & Smaak, Punks Jump Up, Mighty Mouse, Jacques Renault, Rayko, Djuma Soundsystem, Tensnake and more. Blende kicks things off with the EP’s title track, a throbbing neon-disco theme sustained by hammering piano chords. Imagine driving around Miami circa 1986 in a white Lamborghini, Hill Street Blues theme on the car stereo, with Ricardo Tubbs as your chauffeur (and you’ll be pretty close). Sparkle is an organic arpeggio boogie that recreates the sound of early 2000's New York with a ‘14 attitude. Plush is most manifestly reminiscent of the 80ies with its synthesized guitars and pianos and its slomo pulse, swamped in a dim soundscape.
