Late of the Pier – Fantasy Black Channel Album Debut & US Tour Dates
Late of the Pier first caught my attention as remixers, producing tunes infused with electro, rock, and pop elements with a dark edged tinge. They are now releasing “Fantasy Black Channel“, their debut album. The full length release gives you a better sense of who LOTP are as a band. “Fantasy Black Channel” pushes stylistic boundaries, contains infectious hooks, and the wide scope of their soundscape gives each track its own sound, dishing out a little bit of something for everyone.

The fan’s and critics are all over it, and in agreement, LOTP is a “hot buzz band“, to keep on your radar. Over the past year, the Nottingham four some of comprised of Sam Eastgate (vocals/guitar), Sam Potter, (synths/samplers), Ross Dawson (drums/percussion) and Andrew Faley (bass), have been receiving massive acclaim and extensively touring Europe. They make their highly anticipated US debut this March and April, hitting SXSW, WMC, and all points in between.
