Late Of The Pier Artist Snapshot:

British dance-rock act Late of the Pier mix New Wave revivalism in the style of the Killers and the Kaiser Chiefs with a more aggressive dance-oriented sound reminiscent of Ratatat or Justice. After an increasingly successful series of singles, Late of the Pier made their full-length debut with 2008's FANTASY BLACK CHANNEL on Parlophone Records. It attracted enough attention as an import that Astralwerks released the album in the United States the following year.

Review

Spin (p.90) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The debut] offers a fabulous simulation of '80s new wave, with burping, sputtering synths and sleazy, Bowie-inspired crooning from frontman Sam Eastgate."
Alternative Press (p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Late Of The Pier are blatant sonic time-bandits, lifting the best parts of the past 30 years of rock history with the some vintage synthesizers in tow."
Blender (Magazine) (p.65) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] blue-sky ELO harmonies, Bloc Party/Franz Ferdinand four-on-the-floor punk and a dozen flavors of squishy synth scuzz."
Clash (magazine) (p.71) - Ranked #3 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "FANTASY BLACK CHANNEL is the culmination of trial and error, direction and experimentation, and bold dance and rock ethics."

Title Note

Produced by renowned London-based DJ Erol Alkan, FANTASY BLACK CHANNEL is the debut album by the club-minded British indie-rock act Late of the Pier. Eagerly embracing a chilly New Wave aesthetic, the band is led by vocalist Samuel Eastgate, who energetically channels Roxy Music's Bryan Ferry on the punchy dance numbers "The Bears Are Coming" and "Heartbeat."
