Askeleton's "Work"

My dear friend Knol Tate has always been on top of his game as far as music theory and concepts. However, the real magic happens when he puts those ideas in to sound. Much like his previous band The Hidden Chord called back to Television, lots of Askeleton's work is reminiscent of that of Brian Eno's. Now, Knol if you're reading that I know you love Eno and don't let it go to your head. I'm not saying Askeleton traces that of sonics past - but it's perhaps an echo of childhood influences and latent compulsions mixed with admiration and longing to achieve those songs we all love from back when.
Maybe I started wrong or stopped too soon with simply the music references, because Knol is also quite an artist. He has a hand in doing much of the work that goes into his releases, from conception to recording, artwork including graphic and web design. The visual work can now be referred to as Banksy-esque, nevermind that Knol was doing this shit before beloved Banksy painted an elephant pink and caused a media circus complete with celebrities. Perhaps Askeleton AND Knol's visual art would be more popular if the Twin Cities (MN, where Knol lives) was a hotspot for vacationers but being that it's not just cold but freezing 6+ months out of the year, you probably know why traffic doesn't cruise through there too often. I should know, I actually lived survived three years there.
Anyway in this day and age nothing should stop us from finding out about great music and art in all corners of the world. So here you are... enjoy some Askeleton.
