In the 1970s, the group's mentor, The Mysterious N. Senada, sent them a collection of handwritten Inuit folk tales with the suggestion that they be incorporated into the record, but the stories were ultimately set aside after the band had already assembled more than enough material of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly five decades later, The Residents revived those tales for a forthcoming live interpretation of \u003ci\u003eEskimo\u003c\/i\u003e, combining familiar elements from the original album with newly composed music. The result is not presented as a lost side of \u003ci\u003eEskimo\u003c\/i\u003e, but as a modern exploration of ideas that might, in another version of events, have found a place within the original work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis studio recording preserves the new songs created for the performance and pairs them with read-along stories based on the texts transcribed by Senada. The project extends The Residents' long-standing interest in invented ethnography, theatrical narrative, and experimental sound while reconnecting with one of the most distinctive works in their catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented as a 10-inch release, \u003ci\u003eEskimo Folk Tales\u003c\/i\u003e includes individual story texts and the bonus track 'The Arctic Fox.'
