Lullabies for Insomniacs

Eskimobot is Kimi Recor and Ed Garro (UFO!). Written and recorded over one struggling New York summer, their debut release Lullabies for Insomniacs is about love lost and wonderment gained. It’s the sound of a child’s nursery at 3am, up under the covers with a flashlight when everyone else is asleep. “Deliver Us” is a sultry downtempo dirge, celesta and orchestral strings soaring over Ed’s boom-bap beat. “A Doll’s Tale” highlights Kimi’s vocals at their eeriest, pinned by a music-box keyboard line and fragmented samples of clinking teacups and chirping crickets. Lullabies for Insomniacs isn’t all shadows, however. “All Around Town” is a joyful, uptempo synth-pop treat, a breathless jaunt around urban streets. And then there’s “The Me in You,” a duet featuring both Recor and Garro on vocals, singing to each other about the ephemeral nature of innocence, of melted chocolate bars and mismatched socks.
