Here is an odd video for ‘Home’ from Glassers eagerly awaited debut album Ring, which is out at the end of this month.The video mutates and shifts in perspective gradually and oddly mirrors Glassers woozy pop music. The music is fairly inward but in the moments when she opens up her voice it expands the whole song into a world of bright colours and texture.

It all makes us very excited for the album and for the show that we have just announced for the 11th of October.

Congratulations to Eat Your Own Ears favourites and regulars The XX who won the Mercury Music Prize last night. It’s been exciting to watch this band’s meteoric rise to the top of the pile, and their award is completely deserved and refreshing to see it go to a young London band who have taken time to develop and work hard. They have come a long way since this:

 1 – Dickson Experimental Sound Film (1894)

“This is the first film with live sound that is known of. Nice to think back to the roots now and then to remember how easy things have become with modern technology. “

2 – Lumière Brothers – The Serpentine Dance (c.1899)

“A classic, always beautiful ”

3 – Gamelan Gong Kebyar

“This video from Bali is just stunning. Makes you want to throw everything you are working on away and get on a plane to Bali to learn some real stuff…. ”
