"Eskimo" is the sixth studio album by the American art rock group The Residents, released in 1979 after delays following Fingerprince. The album features homemade instruments and chanting set against a backdrop of wind-like synthesizer sounds and various effects. Each track combines music with pseudo-ethnographic narratives, presenting a satirical take on the ignorance and mistreatment of indigenous cultures, particularly Inuit. Despite its claim to be a historical document, the stories are absurd and loosely based on actual culture, using a mix of gibberish and commercial slogans.
Diskomo was released in 1980 as a companion piece to Eskimo, featuring a remix of its tracks set to a disco beat. In 1988, Belgian new beat group L&O covered it, retitling the song "Even Now." A follow-up EP, Diskomo 2000, was released in 2000, which included the original remix, the B-side "Goosebump" (a collection of children's songs played on toy instruments), and several new versions. The title track of the EP reinterprets Diskomo in the style of "Even Now."
