One eskimO CD and T-Shirt Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed, thank you to everyone who entered and congratulations to Mama King, comment #5, who said, "I just listened to the single. I love it! Adult music! A novelty for me :-)I follow you!"

It's hard to pigeon hole the sound of One eskimO, but ambient, electro, acoustic hits the right note. If you love vibey music that sets the mood to hang out, chill out and tune in, then their CD is just for you.

I like it because it's so mellow and relaxing, yet still beautiful and haunting. It's the perfect CD to listen to while having some me time. I am really liking their unique and fresh sound. Plus, lately I've had all the children's music I can take and this is a welcome alternative. If you're not familiar with the band, One eskimO is a critically-acclaimed English band fronted by singer-songwriter Kristian Leontiou and includes musicians Pete Rinaldi (guitar), Jamie Sefton (bass, horns) and Adam Falkner (drums).
They currently have the #1 adult alternative song called 'Kandi' which you may have already heard since it's the most played song on all adult rock radio 4 weeks and counting, and if you haven't heard it, take a minute to check out the video for 'Kandi', above. (If you're an email subscriber please click over to see it!) Billboard Magazine calls One eskimO's self-titled debut album "...catchy, ambient pop." and Los Angeles Times Magazine hails the song "Kandi" “a beautiful, aspirational track.” The album is available in stores now and includes the following tracks: Hometime, Astronauts, Kandi, Slip, Simple Day, Givin Up, Chocolate, All Balloons, Chosen One, UFO, Amazing.
Click here to get check out the deluxe version available on iTunes which features a bonus track and pairs the album with The Adventures of One eskimO an animated story set to the music of the entire album. You can also listen to more of their music by downloading "Astronauts", click here get it for free via Twitter.
I think they'd be a great band to see live, a fun date night for sure! This is definitely one band both Brad and I can listen to together, they kind of make me feel like I'm back in my "cool" college days - even though I'm not sure I was "cool" at any point in my life, LOL!

I am soooo out of the current music loop. The girls and I love rocking out to Jai Ho from Slum Dog Millionaire. I told you I am several years behind the times!

Thanks for introducing me to a new artist!

I also can't get "Kandi" out of my head -- and then One EskimO's "Kandi" leads to Iggy Pop's "Candy" in my head. Would love to win this! jfsarma at gmail dot com
