Brendan Angelides, better known by his stage names Eskmo and Welder, is an American electronic music producer and composer. He has released music on record labels such as Interscope, Ninja Tune, Planet Mu, and Warp Records. In a 2010 review, rock music critic Robert Christgau credited Eskmo with "Just the kind of weird background music that's guaranteed to engross whenever you lend it both ears."
Angelides' self-titled album, Eskmo, was released on Ninja Tune in 2010. BBC Music said of the album "..Sufficient mind-melting invention here – prior reference points or otherwise – to render Eskmo a hotter property than that chilly moniker might immediately imply." He released the Language and "Terra" EPs on Ancestor in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
In 2015, his follow up album SOL, a concept album about the sun, was released on Apollo / R&S records. It featured the artwork of UK feather sculpture artist Kate MccGwire
In April 2017, Interscope released the original score album written by Angelides for the Netflix series "13 Reasons Why." Alongside the score, it featured a cover song of Yaz "Only You" produced by Angelides for Selena Gomez. Earlier in 2017, Milan Records released the original score for the Showtime series "Billions."
Eskmo is the composer for the 2017 Netflix Original series 13 Reasons Why and the Showtime TV series "Billions" .
