Interview: Junior Boys
The day is finally upon us! Tonight we get to see Junior Boys live at XOYO and to help get us in the mood, here is an interview that they did for PlayGround.
Read it HERE.
Video: Psychologist
This is the video for Psychologist’s new track “Out, Damned Spot,” which is taken from his next EP ‘Propeller’ which shall be released on 27th July. The rather unsettling nature of the video reflects the slightly darker direction his music has taken with this track.
Stream: Memory Tapes
To coincide with the release of Memory Tapes’ new album ‘Player Piano,’ The Quietus have an excellent feature with Dayve Hawk, aka Memory Tapes, which includes a track-by-track guide to the album and a stream of the record.

Video: YACHT
YACHT Utopia / Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire) from DFA Records on Vimeo.
This is YACHT’s incredible new video for ‘Utopia / Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire).’ We think you’ll agree that it is certainly one of the most spectacular videos of the year so far!
Video: Vondelpark
One thing that we know about Vondelpark is that we really don’t know much about him. But, we don’t mind as long as he keeps making beautiful tracks like this.
Remix: Junior Boys x Keljet
We really can’t get enough of Junior Boys over here. But, when the album is as good as it is and great remixes keep coming through, why we should we ever grow tired of them? This remix of ‘A Truly Happy Ending’ comes from Dutch electronic producers Keljet.

Baxter Dury
Watch this preview of Baxter Dury’s upcoming album ‘Happy Soup,’ where Dury talks about what has inspired the album, the themes that he explores within the record and his inspirations. He also provides us with a few personal stories about growing up and his first performances, and demonstrates what an engaging and interesting character he is.
Givers
Summer has officially started! And, to celebrate Paste have shared their top 10 tracks for the Summer which, quite rightly, includes Givers’ ‘Up Up Up.’ Read the full article here.
Video: Gold Panda Interview
Ghostly Presents: Gold Panda from Ghostly International on Vimeo.
Gold Panda talks to Ghostly about touring, playing live and his hopes for the ext album. He also drinks tea out of a glass, but we won’t hold it against him.
Review: Baxter Dury
We’re always happy to see bands receive international acclaim, so it was great to see French magazine Staragora talk positively about Baxter Dury’s new record ‘Happy Soup.’ The article is in French and you can read it here.
Video: Connan Mockasin
Connan Mockasin - Forever Dolphin Love (The Line of Best Fit session) from The Line Of Best Fit on Vimeo.

Review: Dave I.D.
Head over to The Whiteboard Project to check out there great review of Dave.i.d’s debut album ‘Response.’ Describing it as “a definite listen” and tipping it to be “an inspiration to a new generation of music lovers,” my appetite is well and truly whetted for the album and his album launch this July!

Video: Anna Calvi - Desire
Here’s the new stormy Anna Calvi clip for one of our favourites from the record. We’re very excited to have her back in London later on in the year.

Have we mentioned lately that we love the Junior Boys record? The disc is one of our favourites of the year so far and we are very excited to see/hear some of this material when they play for us this week. Ahead of that though is this great remix by The Field of stand-out track ‘Banana Ripple’.

EYOE Summer 2011
To celebrate the great Summer of live music we’ve got lined up for you, we thought that we’d make a Spotify playlist featuring a selection of the artists we have playing for you over the coming months.

Dave.i.d Album Preview
With only a few weeks now until the release of his debut album ‘Response,’ Dave.i.d has given us just a little taste of what to expect by making three tracks from ‘Response’ available to stream, which you can do here.
Radio: Listen to Austra on Domino Radio
The brilliant Austra also hit the Domino Radio station last week (it may have ended but we are still working our way through the archive). Her show is a brilliant guide to her influences and shows off just how musically in tune she is. Take a listen.

Video: Memory Tapes
Memory Tapes “Yes I Know” from Najork on Vimeo.
Prepare yourself for quite possibly one of the most disturbing music videos you will have seen in a while in this video for Memory Tapes’ “Yes I Know,” which is taken from the upcoming album “Player Piano.”
Yacht First Listen
YACHT have made their new album, “Shangri-La” available to stream over on the NPR website ahead of it’s UK release on June 27th. It’s been sounding pretty good to us! So if you want to give it a listen, just go here

EYOE hits Domino Radio (Listen Again)
We joined Domino radio for a little while on Sunday and had a great time. We played some EYOE favourites and a couple of Field Day acts as well as some no doubt invigorating and thought-provoking banter.
Head here to listen to it again
Video: Anna Calvi performs 'Blackout'
Another set of live shows for the brilliant Anna Calvi and another great excuse to post a live video of the woman, one of the fiercest performers we’ve come across for her while, and that’s saying nothing of her wild guitar playing chops.
Video: Metronomy - The Bay
Metronomy really outdoing themselves with the videos for this latest album and ‘The Bay’ is no exception. Joe Mount struts around Torquay, which on a good day looks like California. Quite a jarring look at tropical England. Get the deck chair out and sit down for this one.
Interview: Psychologist
Very interesting few questions with Planet Notion recently. Have a read. We have the man back soon.
Interview- Iain Woods a.k.a Psychologist
After Psychologist’s spell-binding candle lit performance at St. Matthias church in Stoke Newington a few weeks back, Tim Robins catches up with Iain Woods- who was joined on stage at the church by a motley crew of musicians, from keyboard players to...
New Song: Spank Rock - Energy

The Horrors
It’s only 8 days now until The Horrors play their first live show of 2011 in the UK. Unsurprisingly, this is completely sold out. But, with new album ‘Skying’ just around the corner, they will be back for us in October with 2 very special shows. For their first performance on October 12th, they will be bringing us a live performance to showcase their new material, whilst not...

Wild Beasts Twitter Interview
This is happening with @Fielddaylondon at 5pm! To keep track of the chat make sure you follow both them and @wildbeasts! We’re excited to read the exchange ahead of Wild Beasts’ performance at this year’s Field Day Fest.
Video: Dels - Trumpalump (Acoustic)
It’s DELS time again. We’re still playing the album - which we’re tipping as an outsider for the Mercury maybe. Take a new spin with Trumpalump acoustic above.
Video: King Creosote + John Hopkins - Bubble
Check out this stunning animated video for the new KC + JH song. It’s been a while since a truly brilliant animated video but this one does the trick very nicely following a swimming/running dog that occassionally morphs into a school of fish in an upside down, reflected world. Captures the understated and sometimes strange beauty of the album and song perfectly.
Austra covered by PS22
Following in the footsteps of bands like Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and Phoenix, Austra has been covered by the Internet’s favourite children’s choir, the PS22 Chorus. Watch their rendition of Austra’s “Energy” from Beat And The Pulse” here.
Mix: Kieran Hebdon
Last weekend, Kieran Hebden was invited to New York for the first Mister Sunday party to play a set of reggae, jazz, hip hop, classic house and pretty much everything in between. By the looks of it, it seems a great time was had by all, and luckily for us the whole thing was recorded and is now available to download to give you a little taste of what to expect during his Field Day set with...
Ford and Lapotin
Ford and Lapotin (formerly known as GAMES) play for our friends BleeD tommorow night alongside a few other up and coming electronic artists like Holy Other.
Looks to be well-worth heading down and an act to keep your eye on.
Stream: Givers - In Light
Some new EYOE faves Givers have an album out soon and we’re very excited about it. They also play for us at Field Day. If the record is half as fun as that promo picture then we are definitely in. Head over to NPR below to find out…
NPR FIRST LISTEN
Video: Christian AIDS - Young Luv
We’ve got electronic noiseniks playing The Victoria in Dalston on June 30th for a special Stay + night. Their debut single out through upcoming label Double Denim came out a couple of weeks ago and is already sold out. It’ll be their first London show so we’re mighty excited to see what they have planned. Check out the cheeky (and rather dark) video for ‘Young...
Video: When Saints Go Machine
We’re becoming quite obsessed with When Saints Go Machine. They are playing a free gig for us next week and we’re excited about seeing/hearing some new stuff as well as our favourites like this one.
