Late Of The Pier have been the subject matter of many underground humble mumblings as of the last year; the fourteen-track bedroom DIY antics of ‘Zarcorp Demo’ released for free through their MySpace page led to those in search of something less contrived than – but as in tune with – the 2007 music media event that was new-rave, talking to a different beat.
‘The Bears Are Coming’, Late Of The Pier’s third single release, will continue to provoke low level utterances across electro-lusting dance floors. Its elemental yet obstreperous drumming bolsters a whirl of blusterous electronic irregularities and vociferous vocals akin to the electro-art pomposity akin to the likes of The Human League. Its pulse is syncopated, distracted, and as baffling a as metronome set to random; however, the impulses that it sparks with its cacophony of throbbing electronic rudiments simply penetrate and inherit the senses.
Released 10/03/08 on EMI.
