1. One EskimO - Hometime

One EskimO

It's already been an incredible 2008 for One eskimO. Back in the spring, the band won the hugely-coveted Public Choice Best Music Video at the British Animation Awards (a gong previously won by the Gorillaz) for their track Hometime. Since winning, the band have spent the last couple of months tucked away creating an additional collection of beautiful and bespoke animations to help further portray their music. Alongside eskimO himself, Penguin, Giraffe and Monkey now feature in a clutch of beautiful animations under the One eskimO banner.

But it doesn't end there and to be perfectly frank it has only just begun. For the band have also just finished recording their debut album All Balloons, aided and abetted by Rollo Armstrong of Faithless. They've also been airing their animation at the rather luxurious Everyman Cinema Club in London. 'Hometime's award-winning animation has been showing before each feature film at the cinema club and the partnership will culminate in a national tour with the band performing live against the full animation later in the year.

Car giants Toyota are also fans and Hometime has been picked up for their environmentally aware 'Why Not?' campaign. So it looks like big things lie ahead for the little eskimO and his musical chums…

All Balloons is scheduled for release in early 2009. It will be preceded by the digital track and animation for 'Hometime' and the band's first official single 'Kandi' (which can be heard on the band's Myspace page now).
