About
A scrimshander is a maker of scrimshaw, the archaic marine art of engraving on bones, teeth and tusks that began on whaling ships in the 18th century. Scrimshander is also a Portland, Oregon two-man band that began two years ago in a bedroom. After the dissolution of their folk-rock powerhouse, Bark Hide and Horn, Peter and Andy started writing and recording new songs together. Folky song skeletons grew flesh through the recording process, fattened up by drum machines, synths, percussion, strings and vocal layers. Scrimshander has since honed their live show, adroitly juggling instruments and triggering electronics.
