Late Of The Pier release their remarkable debut album ‘Fantasy Black Channel’ on 11th August 2008 on Zarcorp / Parlophone.

Produced by Erol Alkan, ‘Fantasy Black Channel’ is an album full of undeniable highlights and features previous singles ‘Space And The Woods’, ‘Focker’, ‘The Bears Are Coming’ and ‘Bathroom Gurgle’ as well as the future-classic forthcoming single ‘Heartbeat’ (released 4th August)

Recorded at Late Of The Pier’s Nottingham home studio and London’s Miloko Studios, ‘Fantasy Black Channel’ is a massively daring album in terms of scope and ambition. It segues between musical styles with fleet footed fluidity, constantly experimental and boundary-pushing yet focused and – at its core –unashamedly pop.

Meanwhile, Late Of The Pier are set to perform at UK festivals throughout the summer. The band will appear at The Serpentine Festival, The Eden Sessions (with the Kaiser Chiefs), Secret Garden Festival, Reading and Leeds, Creamfields and Bestival. They’ve also been confirmed to appear at Japan’s Summer Sonic in August.

Late Of The Pier are: Samuel Dust (vocals, guitar), Rouge Dog Consuela (drums, percussion, believer), Francis Dudley Dance (bass) and Jack Paradise (synths, sampler)
