I first heard of these young punks when I stumbled upon this music video which prominently features a drum playing robot that rises from the abyss and drums the band to death for the last minute or so of the video. Needless to say I was ecstatic. The one thing I was less excited about is the fact that these boys have yet to drop a proper full length on the eagerly awaiting masses. Their catalog, to date, is filled with singles, EPs, and a load of excellently remixed tracks which take their already frenetic blend of techno, glam, and pop and fuse it with otherworldly beats that defy comparisons to mere mortal bands. Also, from what I can gather, these blokes dominate in a live show.
mp3 : Late of the Pier - Space and The Woods (Cenzo Townshend Mix)
mp3 : Late of the Pier - Focker
The song Focker is absolutely brilliant and I challenge anyone to sit still throughout all three minutes and twelve seconds of this danceable tune. Both tracks hail from the most recent effort by Late of the Pier, an EP called Space and The Woods / Focker (amazon) that features five remixes and the original tracks. Quite brilliant. For those of you who are of the remixing variety out there the track Focker has a brilliant closing dance break that I’m positive would make an excellent contribution to your next mashup project.
