Late Of The Pier release ‘Heartbeat’

As we approach the released of their remarkable debut album Fantasy Black Channel (out 11th August), Late Of The Pier will release an equally remarkable new single 'Heartbeat' on 4th August 2008.

Perfecting the blueprint Late Of The Pier have laid down so far – a willingness to take risks, push boundaries, ignore convention and develop an unique sound all of their own – Heartbeat is set to build on the success of previous singles 'Bathroom Gurgle', 'The Bears Are Coming', 'Space And The Woods' and 'Focker'.

Like their forthcoming debut album, 'Heartbeat' sees Erol Alkan on production duties. It will be available on CD, 7", 12" and download and will feature remixes from Hot Chip, Zongamin and La La Lepus.

Meanwhile, Late Of The Pier are set to perform at UK festivals throughout the summer. The band will appear at The Eden Sessions (with the Kaiser Chiefs), Secret Garden Festival, Reading & Leeds festivals, Creamfields and Bestival. They've also been confirmed to appear at Japan's Summer Sonic in August, and in addition will be supporting Justice at Somerset House this Friday, July 11th.
