Description:
Following massive UK acclaim and extensive overseas touring (including a triumphant US debut at CMJ in NYC), Nottingham's Late Of The Pier are ready to unleash their genre-busting debut album Fantasy Black Channel on the US. At once darkly chaotic and unabashedly pop, Late Of The Pier's music is almost impossible to describe, pushing stylistic boundaries to the edge of no control. Produced by superstar DJ-producer Erol Alkan, Fantasy Black Channel is huge in both scope and ambition, an exuberant rush of glam, psychedelia, nu-wave, dancepunk, metal and madcap sci-fi experimentation. Not every band can throw shards of Zappa, Queen
Following massive UK acclaim and extensive overseas touring (including a triumphant US debut at CMJ in NYC), Nottingham's Late Of The Pier are ready to unleash their genre-busting debut album Fantasy Black Channel on the US. At once darkly chaotic and unabashedly pop, Late Of The Pier's music is almost impossible to describe, pushing stylistic boundaries to the edge of no control. Produced by superstar DJ-producer Erol Alkan, Fantasy Black Channel is huge in both scope and ambition, an exuberant rush of glam, psychedelia, nu-wave, dancepunk, metal and madcap sci-fi experimentation. Not every band can throw shards of Zappa, Queen, Eno-era Roxy Music, Prince, Gary Numan, DFA, Bloc Party and The Klaxons into a blender and come out with something as defi antly unique and grandly anthemic. One of the most promising and buzzworthy bands out today, Late Of The Pier have already garnered huge press and web visibility at Blender, Pitchfork, Brooklynvegan, Spin.com, Nylon, AP, Blackbook, Interview, Fader, Bigshot, Flaunt, Filter, Billboard, not to mention the covers of NME, The Fly and Art Rocker.
