Texas's Eskimo Kisses is a little less sedate than you might expect of a band with such an endearingly cute name. The trio has elected to go bassless, giving them a trebly free-floating sound.

Comparisons to the Pixies are inevitable: the core of Eskimo Kisses' sound is melodious, quirky pop, which gets cloaked in thin layers of fuzzed-out punky noise.
