Following last year's download release of brand new track 'Blueberry', Late of the Pier are back with the full double A-side single, featuring 'Best In The Class'. The single package will be released on highly covetable limited edition vinyl and digital download on March 1st.
Like, 'Blueberry', 'Best In The Class' is a song you're hard-pressed to put your finger on. Coming in at just under 3 minutes it still manages to sound like a modern prog odyssey peppered with Tetris blips and a typically frenetic breakdown. Watch out for the video, dropping soon.
2010 looks to usher in a new era of Late Of The Pier as the band branches off into new multimedia projects… from solo albums, side projects and collaborations to scripting, editing and directing film. It'll also see the official launch of the bands Zarcorp label, including the Samuel Dust-produced debut single from newcomers Egyptian Hip Hop and the upcoming audio/visual project La La Lepus. It will also see the beginnings of their follow-up album for Parlophone Records and 'something very special and very secret'.
This year promises Late Of The Pier a new studio, new friends, new sounds and many new ideas… and if this single is anything to go on… we're all in for a very exciting 2010.
