Video: Chilly Gonzales chats to Creators Project
As well as an exclusive chat to Creators Project this excellent little video features some footage of Chilly’s special live show and some more entertaining bits. Anyone who avidly watches Chilly vids knows what to expect!
Youth Lagoon - Montana
We’ve been big fans of Youth Lagoon this year with his wistful, slightly anthemic songs. Montana is our favourite so far and the video is very nice too.
Remix: Clock Opera take on Feist
Clock Opera has been an artist that has gone coast to coast for us this year and gets better at every turn. We are pleased to find an excellent remix of the a new Feist song. Lovely stuff:
Walls Playlist for EYOE
The lovely guys in Walls have kindly made Eat Your Own Ears a playlist. The list takes in everything from Arthur Russell to Fugazi and from front to back works as a great mix. Some of these videos are well worth the visual attention too. The aforementioned Arthur Russell video is a big highlight. Nice to see cloud rap originator Cannibal Ox propping up the end of the list too.
You can see Walls...
This Week's Gigs
Outfit + Au Palais - Tuesday - Cargo
Here is a show we have been excited to see for a while. One of EYOE’s favourite newcomers of the year Outfit packed out the Shacklewell for their single launch and this time they are back to play only their second London show. Big things beckon for next year.
New Build - Tuesday - Electrowerkz - SOLD OUT
Another new band and another Hot Chip side...
Upcoming Shows
Listen: The Field - Then It's White
Simply put: one of the songs of the year.
Zulu Winter on Dazed
One of our recent faves Zulu Winter are on Dazed and Confused today, with a nice interview. Take a read:
Dazed RISE: Zulu Winter
Pictures: Spank Rock/Check Yo Ponytail
Spank Rock recently went out on on the ‘Check Yo Ponytail! tour’ in the US alongside Wavves, Pictureplane, Freelandia and The Death Set. We’ve heard great things about Spank Rock’s live show lately and these pictures from Spin suggest it’s not a show to miss.
The EYOE guide to...Eleanor Friedberger
Eleanor Friedberger has laid claim to our hearts this year with one of the best solo debuts for some time. She is, of course, also one half of one of the best duos of the last decade as well - The Fiery Furnaces. Plenty of ammo then, for a Spotify round-up of her career as it stands. Celebrate her here:
EYOE guide to Eleanor Friedberger Playlist
Video: Eleanor Friedberger - My Mistakes
This one is one of our favourite songs of the year from an album that has really stayed with us. She plays again for us next week and we can’t wait.
Remix: Junior Boys get the Caribou treatment
It’s always a joy when two Eat Your Own Ears acts combine and this Caribou mix of Junior Boys is proof. We are beyond excited to see Junior Boys again in December and spend another 10 minutes inside the world of Banana Ripple.
Junior Boys - You’ll Improve Me (Caribou Remix) by DominoRecordCo
New Vid: Outfit - Two Islands
OUTFIT - Two Islands from Versus on Vimeo.
One of our songs of the year finally gets a video. Apparently made by the band themselves this is a pretty impressive/slightly creepy piece of work.
We eagerly await their show next week at Cargo (29th).
This Week's Gigs
A very busy week at EYOE towers with 8 shows this week (even though there are only 7 days in a week). Of those shows only two of them have tickets still available so much of this preview will be academic to some of you.
Loney Dear + NZCA/LINES (MON) + Air Castles (WEDS) - St. Pancras Old Church - Monday/Wednesday.
A special double bill for a special artist. The nights are themed into two...
Session: Zola Jesus - Night
Here is a great performance from Zola Jesus who we have playing for us next week. Her voice always knocks us back and this video is no exception.
Interview: Loney Dear (Quietus)
We have the quite amazing Loney Dear twice next week for what promises to be two of the most special shows of the year. Only tickets for Monday remain.
For those uninitiated into the world of Loney Dear you can do no better than read this brilliant interview/feature on the Quietus.
Loney Dear on The Quietus
Video: EMA - California
One of our songs of the year here and possibly the best opening line too. EMA plays with Zola Jesus next week and we are well and truly excited for it.

New Vid: Japanther ft. Spank Rock - Radical...
Japanther ft. Spank Rock “Radical Businessman” from Chad von Nau on Vimeo.
Here’s another new guest spot from Spank Rock who comes to London in early December. This time he turns up in the unlikeliest of places - with punk duo Japanther. Watch above for the excellent results.
Session: The Dø - 'Slippery Slope'
The Dø sold their London show out very quickly so we are pleased to announce another date for January 26th. While we’re at it, check out this great live session clip filmed in Paris.
Remix: Blood Diamonds x Niki and The Dove
A bit of synchronicity here - Niki and the Dove playing for us on Thursday and Blood Diamonds supporting Junio Boys for us on 12th of December. It’s a nice sonic melting pot too, take a listen…
The Drummer (Blood Diamonds Remix) by Niki & The Dove
New Vid: King Krule - Noose of Jah City
Here’s a great new video from King Krule ahead of tommorow night’s Corsica Studios show. Moody stuff.
This Week's Gigs
A bit of a bumper week for gigs this week with something great almost every single day. No excuses. So without further ado, gigs of the week…
Anna Calvi - Manchester Cathedral, Manchester - Monday (Sold Out)
Worth the trip to Manchester alone, our favourite modern chanteuse is in town to woo the North. This one is sold out but those lucky enough to have tickets are in for a treat.

Session: Niki and the Dove for Fader TV
Catching up on a session for Niki and the Dove this morning and loving this take of ‘Mother Protect’
Session: EMA do La Blogoteque
EMA | Anteroom | A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
It’s been a little while since we got to post a Blogoteque, despite being huge fans of the website. So we’re pleased to find a takeaway show for EMA (supporting Zola Jesus soon - VERY few tickets left!). Take a look at EMA doing ‘Anteroom’ from her excellent Past Martyred Saints’ record above.
New Vid: The History of Apple Pie - Mallory
The History Of Apple Pie - “Mallory” from stereogum on Vimeo.
Another slice of the Pie to offer you today, in the form of a new video, in which the guys look they are having a wonderful time. We had a wonderful time watching it too.
Session: The History of Apple Pie - Mallory...
The History of Apple Pie - Mallory (The Amazing Sessions) from Amazing Radio on Vimeo.
Check out this session video of The History of Apple Pie’s new single Mallory. They ooze cool.

New Build - “Finding Reasons” by newbuild
New Song: Weird Dreams
Here’s another new one from Weird Dreams, who support Stephen Malkmus and his Jicks next week. These guys are a bit of a sly favourite of ours at the moment and bearing the torch for the UK, hitting spots like Pitchfork and The Fader lately.
Weird Dreams - Where’d I Go Wrong by Tough Love
Artwork: Spank Rock
Session: Givers on Daytrotter/Fallon
This may not be a new session, but well worth catching up on ahead of tonight’s XOYO show. We’ve been enthusing about these guys as one of the best live acts around right now and tonight’s show feels unmissable.
Give that session a listen HERE.
Also check them on Fallon from a while ago if you didn’t catch that at the time…
This Week's Gigs
Our slate of gigs this week all happen on Tuesday evening - who said Midweek was dead eh? Ahead of next week’s very busy gig-times we’re focusing all energy on two very good gigs indeed.
DJANGO DJANGO + BULLION (DJ) - HOXTON BAR AND KITCHEN (TUESDAY)
One of our favourite bands for quite a while now, they are especially good live, and we are looking forward to seeing them at Hoxton...
Listen: PS22 Chorus take on "Up Up Up" by Givers
The world’s favourite kids choir take on this already extremely uplifting song by Givers. Brighten up Friday with this and then come and see Givers at XOYO next week.
Chairlift on Boiler Room
We have Chairlift playing for us tonight and loved seeing them prank Boiler Room throwing down some serious dance moves and garnering some pretty funny chat room commentary. Enjoy this one in full screen.
Listen: Errors - Earthscore
Very pleased to have Errors back and in some style too. Check out a new track below:
Earthscore by Rock Action Records. Uploaded with Scup
New Vid: Duologue - Endless Imitation
Here is a recent favourite of ours, and something we are very excited about seeing on Thursday night. Take a look at this brand new out of the box Duologue video on the NME website.
Listen: King Krule - Portrait in Black and Blue
Doesn’t King Krule look so young in that picture above? Listening to his music it’s easy to forget that Archie Marshall is just 17 - especially with that out-of-nowhere gruff voice. Take a listen to another one from his upcoming album on True Panther below.
Tickets and Info

Session: Zulu Winter - Let's Move Back To Front
Zulu Winter from Black Cab Sessions on Vimeo.
We’re very excited to see young upstarts Zulu Winter at CAMP tonight and if we were to get a cab to the venue this is probably what we would sing too.
Listen: Spank Rock - Nasty
This is one the most fun party-rap tunes we’ve heard for a long time. We can’t wait to welcome party season in with Spank Rock at the Scala next month.
