![[Preview] Late Of The Pier – 'Blueberry'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2148424_lg.jpg)
Finally! I've been waiting to write about Late Of The Pier since Indiescreet started back in May. The boys from Castle Donington have been quiet since the brilliance that was 'Fantasy Black Channel' but now they're back with new material. The material comes in the form of a brand new track titled 'Blueberry'. When the track first comes in you can hear a distinct LOTP sound, multi layered instruments and sounds, then the track takes a surprisingly mellow turn, continuing on to sound very David Bowie-esq. As tasters go it's pretty [...]
PRODUCER Radiant Dragon has teamed up with Late Of The Pier 's Sam Eastgate for a new track. You can download Ghosts , which was written and recorded by Radiant Dragon in Singapore and co-produced by the Castle Donington frontman, by clicking here . Radiant Dragon said: "I've tried to blend electronic, ambient, psychedelic folk and rock sounds together to bring out the atmosphere and themes of the song, lamenting immigrants lost and stranded at sea."
CASTLE Donington band Late Of The Pier are set to make a mouth-watering return to the charts ahead of a new album next year. The band will release a new single titled Blueberry as a digital download on December 17, and then as a double A-Side in February 2010 with Best In The Class . The tracks are the first tasters of a follow-up to 2008's Fantasy Black Channel .

My knowledge of this particular remixer consisted of his amazing remix of Franz Ferdinand's Do You Want To and that he did that thing with Boys Noize (which was also pretty damn amazing). After researching (scourged for all his remixes and wikipedia'd the man), I discovered a couple of interesting things about this guy; he makes some crazy good, headbanging electronic remixes of indie artists (Bloc Party, Klaxons, Interpol and more) and produced the Late of the Pier record. For the second feat alone, I applaud him, it is quite a marvelous record . But that's not [...]

we've walked this path many times havent we? pre-festival excitement.. hmpf. ive been quite miffed by the whole 'scene' of late and in my mind, festivals are the embodiment of everything i dislike about it. so apologies if this post isn't glowing with excitement. despite all that, i dont think that even i could say that the lineup is bad at this years parklife- in fact i think most people would agree that it is superb. i have reluctantly prepared an itinerary and i guess it goes a li'l something like this: --arrive [...]

This coming Sunday Parklife will hit Sydney, a long weekend and celestial Spring weather. There really is no better combination to usher in the festival season. The only thing that could compare is if the moon became a strobe light on NYE. Or spun around and said something dopey . Fellow Parklifers, there are things you should and shouldn't do this weekend. I'll illustrate. *Cue dark synths and smoke machines* It was way back (last week), one sunny summer afternoon in a Potts Point apartment. A raving buddy and I hung our arms from the [...]

CASTLE Donington band Late Of The Pier 's debut album, Fantasy Black Channel , has picked up the Neptune Prize music award. The album was voted by readers of website Drowned In Sound as the best that didn't get a nomination for this year's Mercury Prize, won by Speech Debelle 's Speech Therapy . A spokesman said: "Congratulations gents, especially as you're one of the albums we assumed would make the Mercury list. "We'll be in touch about taking you out for a fish 'n' chip supper and [...]

And here we are back again. You might have noticed SSSSOUND has been undergoing some changes recently, now the makeover is complete! What better way to celebrate than with a third part of the SSSSOUNDTRACK project? For this one SSSSOUND invited Nebby Nebassi to show of his DJ-skills (yes, he is both graphic designer and DJ, we all know that combination is meant for succes!) And happy we can be: An excellent tracklisting including In Flagranti, Joakim, Bot'Ox, Riton, LCD Soundsystem and lots more, mixed together to form one hour of pure SSSSOUNDTRACK pleasure. LISTEN to [...]
aus bayern kam ja, mal abgesehen von frittenbude , schon lange nichts die klangwelt bewegendes mehr. die aufbruchsstimmung der weilheimer schule um the notwist und der augsburger schule um anajo scheinen fürs erste vorbei. die sportfreunde sind für den echten indiestreber irgendwo zwischen ballermann und fussballstadion verlorengegangen, und slut tauschen rock gegen kunst und versuchen sich nach der dreigroschenoper an einer schallnovelle in zusammenarbeit mit juli zeh . im sommer 2009 sind mir allerdings gleich zwei platten in die hände gefallen, die mich wieder [...]

Asi termina el Myspace del gran Thibaut Berland aka Breakbot , un DJ frances (que raro!) que mezcla usando sonidos bastante buenos para un sabadabadance ademas de tener un concepto de arte muy curioso, jaja un senor de barba y lentes que cambia de vestuario como lo haria el Ken de cualquier Barbie. Breakbot – Penelope Pitstop Breakbot - Happy Rabbit Breakbot – Shiny Metal Dude Justice – Let there be Light (Breakbot Remix) [...]
Parlophone was the first record company that started giving me promos back in the day... and at least a couple times they were nice enough to give me the "jump" on everyone else which helped establish this blog a little quicker. I didn't start posting their stuff to climb the ladder though... I posted it because a large portion of my favourite bands are on it! See for yourself below and remember some of the high points in Parlophone's esteemed career :) Check out more here . Peter Doherty- "Broken Love Song" [...]

"The Bears Are Coming" (Emperor Machine Remix) by Late Of The Pier which clocks in at 9:20 . At first glance, Thom Yorke's suggestion during a recent interview with The Believer that Radiohead may be done crafting full-length albums reads as yet another onerous sign of the LP's fate in the slick digital frontier. And even despite mounting evidence suggesting otherwise, when the biggest band in the world jumps ship, it's time to find [...]

So I posted the Kontact Me preview a month back and have to say now that a full(ish) quality 45 second sample of the song has been released it sounds kind of goofy... the WHOLE album sounds kind of goofy :( I mean, not bad per se, in fact Boys Noize/Alexander Ridha's drum patterns and sounds keep getting more and more interesting, it's just very hard to categorize. Not exactly a banger. Not exactly rhythm driven grindy-club songs. So what? It's original and I can appreciate that. But WAVES IS JUST A F*&%ING DANCE FLOOR [...]

We did some more promo shopping yesterday, this time we managed to spend the scary total of £2.50 (ZOMG!). Rather sadly, it seems, that the peoples of the music industry do not care for the recent works of Craig David, P Diddy & Estelle because they could be found in abundance. :-( ♫ Midfield General -Disco Sirens (Instrumental) ♫ Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Midnight Juggernauts Remix) ♫ Late Of The Pier - Space And The Woods (Switch Remix) [...]

L'année dernière, Late Of The Pier avaient suscité beaucoup d'engouement dans la scène electro-rock avec la sortie de leur cd Fantasy Black Channel . Le son était pointu, le songwriting original et le groupe dégageait juste assez d'aura pour être comparés aux géniaux Klaxons . Et bien cette vague electro-rock gagne enfin la France. En effet, les niçois de Quadricolor nous montrent l'étendue du savoir-faire français en matière de rock avec l'EP Euphony paru il y a peu. Leur son tout à [...]
