Eat Your Own Ears Christmas Show by Eatyourownears on Mixcloud
Eat Your Own Ears Christmas special hosted by Tom Baker. Join EYOE with this months selection of music hotly tipped for 2011, some Eat Your Own Ears favourites amongst some classics.
We’re super excited to unveil Chilly Gonzales traditional seasonal message, reflecting on the past year, as well as a catch up with Canadian indie rockers Born Ruffians and The Acorn, and if that’s not enough we join Gruff Rhys in medieval court house at the end of his tour, which has led him around the country and into a wooden panelled walled room to discuss the importance of Protest and his film, Seperado.
Erland & David from the mighty Erland and the Carnival share their favourite Christmas moments. Can you believe this is all in one show? We can’t. Tune in now…. best listened to before Christmas and enjoyed with some Mulled wine….!

Excited to hear that Erland and the Carnival have announce the follow up their their brilliant debut album set for release in March next year. Band member Tong described it thusly: “a soundtrack to an imaginary horror film about the supernatural”. He has promised “a more direct album”. Sounds brilliant!

Great to see Matthew Dear’s excellent Black City in Pitchfork’s top 50 albums of the year. Here’s what they said:
They call it Black City for a reason. It a place where Matthew Dear gets to leave his other guises behind. Gone is the minimalist guru and the good-natured synth-pop experimenter, replaced by a pervert, a bank robber, a manic kidnapper. Dear plays all those roles and more on his fourth and best long-player. It’s a concept album where the concept is nothing more (or less) than our deepest depravities set to a skulking funk to which the Thin White Duke would nod approvingly. This is what Trent Reznor has spent much of the past 10 years trying to accomplish— an album that balances sophistication, studio know-how, and a woozy evil into something your nightmares could dance to. So it’s not too surprising when Dear takes Reznor’s “Closer” pulse out for a moonless 4 a.m. test drive on “You Put a Smell on Me”. With Black City, Dear offers a precisely thought-out guide to losing your mind. —Ryan Dombal

We’ve just announced the return of the brilliant Gold Panda for March next year. Hot off the back of making one of the year’s very best albums and delivering on his own BBC Sound of 2010 listing, it looks like 2011 will be even more exciting!
