Untitled

Fantasy Black Channel is the debut studio album by British band Late of the Pier. It was released on 30 July 2008 in Japan through Toshiba EMI and on 4 August 2008 in the United Kingdom on Parlophone. Five tracks had already been released as singles in the UK before the album's release: "Bathroom Gurgle", "The Bears Are Coming", "Space and the Woods" and "Focker" as a double A-side, and "Heartbeat". The record peaked at number 28 on the UK Albums Chart and entered the European Top 100 Albums at number 91. It was released in the United States through Astralwerks on 13 January 2009, but failed to chart.

The album was recorded in frontman Sam Eastgate's bedroom in Castle Donington, England, and at several locations in London. It went through a long and fractured creative process that lasted for more than two years. It was eventually produced by Eastgate and DJ Erol Alkan between 2007 and 2008. Fantasy Black Channel does not contain a unifying musical or lyrical theme; rather, it is a collage of all the ideas, genres, sounds, and studio effects that fascinated the band members and producer Alkan, especially during live recording sessions.

The record was well-received by music critics. Praise centred on its eclecticism and stylistic choices. One reviewer commented that the band are "a hyperactive British answer" to American synthpop duo MGMT,[1] while another critic asserted that Fantasy Black Channel proves that Late of the Pier possess "ability beyond the simple sum of influential parts".[2] The Guardian claimed that the album was the most thrilling British debut of 2008 "for its spirit of invention, its surfeit of ideas and its ear for a good tune".[3] The record was named in HMV's Album of the Year shortlist at the end of 2008.

Origins and conception

Early ideas and record deal (2005−2007)

Having officially formed a band under the name Late of the Pier in 2004,[4] childhood friends Sam Eastgate, Andrew Faley, Sam Potter, and Ross Dawson initially developed the sound of their first album by listening to the alternative dance music of British ensemble The Prodigy and the grunge music of American band Nirvana.[5][6] They soon branched out into listening to diverse genres from the last 40 years of music, including Motown and soul.[6][7] Potter has treated their conception of Fantasy Black Channel as a reaction to "mediocre, complacent indie-schmindie bands who find a sound and stick to it; whose songs sound exactly the same",[8] while lead writer and composer Eastgate has pointed out that they wanted to "take people past their own limits". The nascent recording stages took place in Eastgate's bedroom, where unconventional time signatures and experimental chords were performed because, at the time, no band member could play an instrument properly.[5]

Late of the Pier started using the album working title Interesting Adventure in 2006 after practising in Eastgate's bedroom for about a year.[9] They then embarked on a series of local gigs around Nottingham and previewed their new material at the Liars Club, where record labels "courted" them.[5] The band received contract offers from Parlophone and Atlantic Records.[5] They ultimately signed to Parlophone because the label gave them total autonomy over the recording process for Interesting Adventure without pressuring them to be commercially successful immediately.[5] The record deal was followed by the recording of an EP titled Zarcorp Demo, from which a demo single, "Space and the Woods", was released in March 2007.[10] Eastgate has claimed that the band members were influenced by the music of the 1980s during these formative stages of Fantasy Black Channel even though none of them were born before 1986.[11]

Alkan's influence and production (2007−2008)

Sam [Eastgate] will have an idea or a burst of inspiration and he'll go on his computer and make a computerised machine track. Then from there we learn what he's put down in a human way... After that process you get a recording of it like a demo, then from that we'll gig the track and it changes again. Our music goes through lots of filters: it's a really strange process and I don't think many bands do it.[7]

Sam Potter, on Late of the Pier's method of creating the songs for Fantasy Black Channel

Later in 2007, Late of the Pier formally met renowned DJ Erol Alkan after seeing him play a set at the Liars Club.[5] Alkan called them "THE most exciting band around" and offered the band members help in the recording process of Fantasy Black Channel.[5][12] They accepted and made him producer for the album because of the immediate rapport that developed between the two parties.[5] Dawson has explained the choice of producer by suggesting that Alkan is famous for playing broad genres of music and that he understands the properties and crossover of dance and guitar music.[13] Alkan fully embraced the various ideas the band members had and immediately understood what they were trying to achieve.[5]

"Bathroom Gurgle" was subsequently recorded by the new collaboration and was released as a limited edition single in September 2007.[14] The production process for Fantasy Black Channel gathered pace around December 2007.[15] Late of the Pier usually proceeded by taking bedroom recordings into the studio, where they were refined by Alkan into "a more presentable package".[12] When tracks were mixed after being recorded, the band members, Alkan, and engineer Jimmy Robertson worked in tandem and decided unanimously when a track had finished undergoing the studio effects process.[15][16] No songs changed after this point, even when one of the parties had further ideas.[15] Stuart Turnbull of the BBC Collective indicated that Alkan managed to "channel Late of the Pier's sonic attack into something more focused yet still undeniably different".[8]

Finalising the project (2008)

The record was nearly completed by the end of January 2008.[15] Late of the Pier stopped recording to embark on a headlining UK tour during the month of February, in which they previewed new material.[17] "The Bears Are Coming" was released as a vinyl single in March 2008.[17] The band toured until the end of April 2008 to promote another single—a double A-side containing a reworked "Space and the Woods" and "Focker"—from then-unreleased Fantasy Black Channel.[18] Studio work with Alkan restarted in May 2008 to put the finishing touches on the album; the final version was christened as "a compilation of hits" and "anti-pop pop".[15] Faley has claimed that "the album fell into place itself, like the songs basically told us where they wanted to go on the album".[15]

The album was recorded for six months in different studios.[15] The band members have admitted that the variety in recording venues partially explains why the album sounds disjointed.[15] Late of the Pier tried unconventional techniques in the style of avant garde producer Joe Meek during the live studio recording sessions, including stamping in baths and reamping guitars through air vents.[7] Faley has noted that there are so many ideas on the record that it is "impossible to tie them together with one string".[15] The idea of having one 45-minute track instead of the 12 songs that would comprise the album was mooted at the end of May 2008, but was not followed through.[15]

Fantasy Black Channel's track listing and UK release date were confirmed on 11 June 2008.[19] Late of the Pier picked the record's name at random after contemplating using Peggy Patch and Her Sequenced Dress.[12] The cover art was designed by a friend of the band members from Brighton, Jon Bergman.[9][16] A final EP containing material already released in 2007 and 2008, Echoclistel Lambietroy, was released in July 2008 as part of the marketing campaign for the forthcoming album.[20] Potter has summed up the record's conception by concluding, "I think in the three years to build up to the album, we never actually thought of a track list, and we never really kind of considered the fact that it should sound like an album. I think we recorded all the songs and then they were there and it was like, 'Oh, we have to kind of stitch this together and make it sound like one piece.'"[15]

Critical reception

"Heartbeat"
"Heartbeat" was Fantasy Black Channel's only single to chart in the UK. The song is typical of Late of the Pier's unorthodox arrangements and fusion of genres. It also illustrates Erol Alkan's production aesthetic.

Media response to Fantasy Black Channel was highly favourable; aggregating website Metacritic reported a normalised rating of 81% in January 2009 based on 18 critical reviews.[21] K. Ross Hoffman of Allmusic described the album as "glorious and galvanising" and labelled it "a convoluted construction crammed with so many immediately gratifying moments that it takes multiple listens to extricate them all".[22] The Guardian's John Burgess gave the record 5 stars out 5, the highest rating that it received from notable publications, and explained that a new favourite song, riff, or wayward moment can be found every time that they listen to the album.[3] These positive comments were encapsulated by Jen Zipf of Prefix Magazine, who concluded, "Listen carefully to Fantasy Black Channel, as the journey is slightly different with each listen. Every surreal note smacks with the infectious energy and vigour of youth, yet Late of the Pier's musical proficiency and mélange of influences definitely belie their tender ages (early 20s)."[23]

NME's Tim Chester stated, "It takes a certain kind of mind to make this. While others whinge about living and dying in cul-de-sac towns shackled by cul-de-sac imaginations, LOTP’s vision is housed on Dubai's 'The World' island-creation project."[24] Uncut called the album deliberately unconventional, but also bold and adventurous.[1] On the other hand, Pitchfork Media's Adam Moerder gave the record 6.7 out of 10, one of the lowest ratings that it received from notable publications, and commented that it contains several New Rave compositions which are aesthetically dubious.[25] Chris Baynes of PopMatters claimed that the band members "wear their influences pretty much inked onto their sleeves", but ultimately gave a high rating by concluding that the album is exciting and excitable in equal measure.[26]

Some reviewers initially classified Fantasy Black Channel into the British New Rave genre and musical scene.[2][25] Others claimed that they could hear impressions of Roxy Music frontman Bryan Ferry and musician Gary Numan in the recording.[27][28] In response, Late of the Pier have asserted that they have never been affiliated with New Rave and that comparisons to Klaxons are simply due to lazy journalism.[6] Eastgate has explained that musical influences are often subconscious, even though the band members tried not to listen to anything but their own work while recording the album.[7] The Skinny's Nick Mitchell agreed with the aforementioned comments when he pointed out that the record is "an unrestrained, unclassifiable, unexpectedly triumphant romp through blaring influences and genres, from the 70s camp rock of Queen and Bowie to the primitive electronics of Gary Numan, with echoes of 90s computer games and snatches of modern house".[12]

Because of their work on Fantasy Black Channel, Late of the Pier were nominated for Best New Band at the 2009 NME Awards.[29] Two tracks from the album were also nominated: "Bathroom Gurgle" and "Heartbreak", in the Best Dancefloor Filler and Best Video categories respectively.[29] The album was ranked number 16 in the end-of-year HMV Poll of Polls for 2008, which aggregates the votes of prominent British critics to decide the commercial group's Album of the Year.[30] Earlier in 2008, Rory Carroll of Artrocker claimed that the record would have been a late entrant for the Mercury Music Prize if nominations had been made in August rather than July 2008.[31] He added that it would have probably won the award.[31]

Composition and lyrics

Late of the Pier performing songs that would later appear on Fantasy Black Channel at the 2007 Dot to Dot Festival in Bristol

Late of the Pier have stated that they do not remember how they came to name the songs on Fantasy Black Channel.[5] The record begins with "Hot Tent Blues", a short instrumental track that includes a grandiose glam rock guitar riff.[22] The bombastic guitar delivery was compared to that of the music in the finale of a Richard Gere romantic movie by NME.[24] In contrast, the following song, "Broken", evokes the sound of Britpop band Supergrass.[32] It has a more reserved sound and includes slow-moving vocals, a combination later to be re-employed towards the record's end in "Mad Dogs and Englishmen".[26][27]

The third track on the album, "Space and the Woods", was said to have baritone vocals in the mould of indie rock band Interpol and a synthy musical backdrop in the vein of 1970s electropop collective Tubeway Army.[2] This comparison was confirmed by Jorge Cuellar of URB, who suggested that the song sounds like a recreation of Gary Numan's 1979 hit "Cars" after he had left Tubeway Army.[27] The lyrics contain a sullen narcissism, especially when Eastgate sings the lines "Suicide is in my blood" and "This world is no place for a mind... or a thought".[28][33] In contrast, "The Bears Are Coming" is more introverted and abstract in its lyrical content.[9] Eastgate has indicated, "It's more of a warning really, it's like a silent threat."[9] The track is a relatively conventional dancefloor number.[25] Prefix Magazine suggested that "with its clankety-clanking on unconventional objects, [it] sounds deliciously like what the Teddy Bears' Picnic might sound like fuelled by Red Bull and psychedelics".[23]

The following song, "Random Firl", continues this psychedelic theme by including a prominent synthesiser riff and chimes akin to those found in a children's music box.[23][34] On the other hand, the final single "Heartbeat" mixes disco music with math rock time signatures.[32] Mike Diver of Drowned in Sound noticed that it borrows the bassline intro from "Dead Souls", a song from 1980s post-punk band Joy Division, and uses it to create an indie-disco classic.[2] The Hartford Courant's Dan LeRoy concluded, "You might have to go back to Roxy Music for such successful distortions of the pop form as the manic single "Heartbeat"."[35] Influences from 1970s and 1980s music were also noted in the composition of the next song, "White Snake", which was said to evoke the era of glam metal and David Coverdale.[24] The track has one of the fastest tempos on the album and was compared to a mixture of classic songs from 1980s New Wave bands Sparks and Adam and the Ants.[2][34] Even the next song, the largely instrumental "VW", was treated as being inspired by a 1970s David Bowie space opera.[25]

The ninth track on Fantasy Black Channel, "Focker", continues the theme of prominent riffs and has a sound in the mould of hard rock band Van Halen.[24][32] Eastgate's vocals vary wildly during the song but the sentiment generally portrayed is one of existential gloom as typified by the lyrics "Whenever I'm there / You give me a stare / Breaking my heart in two".[23] The vocal delivery also varies during "The Enemy Are the Future", but the lyrics are mostly incoherent.[33] The song undergoes a mid-song metamorphosis from gentle acoustic folk into an urgent jam which, in turn, references many genres.[23] Billboard's Jessica Letkemann asserted that its arrangement seems to be influenced by David Bowie's 1972 hit "Ziggy Stardust".[32] This is then followed by the slower, more conventional pop of "Mad Dogs and Englishmen".[34] Drowned in Sound claimed that not enough consideration has been given to song sequencing by indicating that the track "feels like a c-side when placed directly before the sublime "Bathroom Gurgle"".[2]

Album closer "Bathroom Gurgle" was Late of the Pier's first single from Fantasy Black Channel.[8] It was described as a "most individual pop record, [with] an insistent, gritty bassline, glam drums and dark synths" by the BBC Collective.[8] The track begins as synth-pop but after two minutes it suddenly bursts into falsetto prog rock, subsequently shifting genre and tempo again to glam punk.[3][8] During the song, Eastgate repeats the line "Put your hands on your waistline and move your body to the bassline" for emphasis and effect.[3] He alternates between two types vocal delivery, namely, glam rock chanting and blues rock wailing akin to Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant.[23] David Renshaw of Gigwise concluded that the track is "a schizophrenic, frantic blast of varying styles weaved together to make one sound".[34]
