Bio
................ Kimo are the name change for Eskimo a band formed in 2002 by David Mulcahy (JPSE, Superette), Rob Mayes (Dolphin, Springloader, Throw), and Michael Daly(YFC, Leadleg) with the likes of eskimo squad, eskimo joe and a dozen techno bands called eskimo the band decided to give up the fight and change names. They initially opted for Kimo Joe, or Kimo squad, but then shortened it to Kimo, cos they're lazy. Their new album Surrender could have been called 'therapy' (kimo therapy) for the amount of time it took them to write and record it. Mayes breaking his hand in a bizarre luggage accident pushed the project toward a sparser open approach compared to 2004's dense guitar layered Loverbatim album. It consists of 10 new works, a concept album of sorts. After getting the dirty rock thing out of their system with the middle part of their last album Rob as producer decided to work on the bands more melodic pretty elements and culled out the 10 smoothest tunes from over 20. Lush strings, introspective vocals and a mid tempo throb permeates the album, in an lush yet open production. .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor.. - ..Image Hosting.... ..
