Eskimo Callboy Scene CD
Written over the course of the last two years, “The Scene” represents ESKIMO CALLBOY’s wild and reflective sides. Songs like "M.C. Thunder", "Banshee", "New Age", and "Rooftop" harken back to the group’s carousing origins, where metal, trance, and other things are fused, soldered, and brewed into single, fun-lovin’ concoction. The other side of ESKIMO CALLBOY is far less rambunctious. In fact, it’s the first time since debut “Bury Me in Vegas” floored the world that the Germans have dialed back their audacious approach to music, settling on songs that sing like radio hits—"The Devil Within", "VIP", and album closer "Calling"—instead of courting chaos.
Recorded and mixed at ESKIMO CALLBOY’s home studio, “The Scene” was then shipped off to Pitchback Studios for mastering with Aljoscha Sieg (August Burns Red). The result is a sound that’s insanely heavy, devilishly dynamic, and perfect for the age where listeners are on their phones or at their turntables. Like most bands of the modern era, ESKIMO CALLBOY opted to record and mix their own music instead of hiring on a named producer. Their reasoning is simple: nobody is more passionate about music as the members of the band. Plus, members of ESKIMO CALLBOY are involved—outside of the band—in IT, sound engineering, and video production. The skillset to translate songs jammed in a rehearsal room to a professional output exists within the band, so it makes perfect sense to opt a DIY MO.
Thematically and lyrically, “The Scene” is about the good life—partying and hanging out with friends. While the days of "Blood Red Lips" and "2 Fat 2 Furious" are in the rearview mirror, the group's penchant for controversy—wrapped in a healthy coat of satire—remains. But as with the music, so too with the lyrics. ESKIMO CALLBOY are getting reflective on “The Scene”. They're questioning the emotions around moving on from the familiar. They're contemplating what it feels like to live a life without roots.
