Brendan Angelides, aka Welder, is a California based artist more widely known in the music community as Eskmo. With releases under the latter guise on the labels of Ninja Tune, Warp and Planet Mu, he has gained notable transatlantic recognition from the likes of BBC Music, URB and FACT amongst many others.
Ancestor Media is the label he created as an outlet for his own personal creative endeavors. Past Ancestor releases include his collaboration with Amon Tobin entitled simply “Eskamon”, and the well-received Eskmo EP “Hypercolor.” His “Agnus Dei” track was featured on CSI: Miami in 2009 as well as an episode of “So You Think You Can Dance.”
Welder explores a different side of the sonic and emotional spectrum. “Florescence” is Brendan’s 2nd album under this persona.While Eskmo traverses hi fi, twisted and bright outward explorations, Welder paints with washed lo fi instrument based ingredients, organic and digital. Weathered piano, warm strings, vintage drums, mandolins, synths and electric bass color the album. All the songs have a noticeable focus on recording room environments and the imperfections in the recording process, resulting in a very human, introverted yet gently playful experience.
