Description

“Anonymity is a paradox. In theory, it should deflect attention and create distance, but in practice it’s a beguiling curiosity, stirring interest through deliberate mystery. By pushing people away, it pulls them in. The Residents are famous for being anonymous. What most people know about them is nobody knows who they are.” — Marc Masters for Pitchfork

Their early videos are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and their Freak Show CD-Rom was featured in MOMA’s “Looking at Music 3.0” exhibition. Their four-decade-long career has also taken them into the world of film and television music, having scored numerous films and TV series as well as several projects for MTV.
