One Eskimo announce full UK tour

One Eskimo have announced they will play London's Hoxton Bar and Grill on 12th March 2009, before embarking on a UK tour with All Thieves and Bailey Tzuke on 6th May 2009. All of this comes before the release of their album 'All Balloons' on 1st June 2009.

Produced by Rollo (Faithless), One Eskimo is a unique creation that combines gorgeous animations with the beautiful songs written and sung by One eskimO.

Having already supported Tricky at Shepherd's Bush Empire, One eskimO are a 4-piece band who's live performances are somewhat unorthodox, the drummer opts for the less traditional cajon whilst triggering samples and the bassist doubles up as a horn player.

The album is uniquely backed up by a series of animations, produced by Passion Pictures, the team behind the Gorillaz. The animations have already won a 2008 British Animation Award - Public Choice Music Video for One Eskimo's song 'Hometime'.

The story of the Eskimo and his band – the giraffe, monkey and penguin is told across 10 episodes to each of the album's 10 tracks. The animations will form a short film about the eskimO and his plight.
