“Here is the beginning of something new.
We’re rewriting our own rules.
And taking on new projects.
In new forms of expression.
The past few years have given us a lot to think about
and feel.
And now we begin to bring to life,
our imaginations.
Here is the beginning of something new.
Love,
LOTP”
Fresh from their debut album release Fantasy Black Channel, Late Of The Pier return with ambitious new track ‘Blueberry’. Produced by Erol Alkan, this new slab of prog-pop will initially be released on Alkan’s own Phantasy label as a single download in December before seeing a 12-inch vinyl release along side another new track ‘Best In The Class’, released in February 2010.
The track received its debut on the third installment of Erol’s 6 Mix residency on BBC6 Music on Saturday 21st November, and the response has been overwhelming with Boys Noize terming them “the best band on the globe.”
2010 looks to usher in a new era of Late Of The Pier as the band branches off into new multimedia projects… from solo albums, side projects and collaborations to scripting, editing and directing film. It’ll also see the official launch of the bands Zarcorp label, including the Samuel Dust-produced debut single from newcomers Egyptian Hip Hop and the upcoming audio/visual project La La Lepus. It will also see the beginnings of their follow-up album for Parlophone Records and ‘something very special and very secret’.
The New Year promises Late Of The Pier a new studio, new friends, new sounds and many new ideas… and if ‘Blueberry’ is anything to go on… we’re all in for a very exciting year.
