Late Of The Pier

Late Of the Pier are a band from Nottingham that have been turning one or two heads over the last year. They've only released a handful of tracks but each one i've heard has been damn good. On the face of things the world probably doesn't need another UK indie band with a keyboard player making 'dance-rock' but Late Of The Pier have enough eclectic influences and tight production to stand well above chancers like the Klaxons or Shitdisco.

Their standout track so far is definitely 'Bathroom Gurgle', produced by the busiest man in dance music, Erol Alkan. It moves from strutting bassline like the Rapture to a sweeping breakdown followed by the frantic chorus "So put your hands on your waistline/And move your body to the bassline/And get your hands on some cheap wine/And just move it til you feel fiiiiiiine!".

Also worth checking out is their Gary Numan-esque 'Space and the Woods'.
