LATE OF THE PIER will release their debut album Fantasy Black Channel on January 13, 2009 on Astralwerks here in the U.S. Most importantly, it was produced by Erol Alkan who caught both my and the publics eye when he released his mash-up of Kylie Minogue and New Order ‘Cant Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head’ — the version of which she performed at the Brit Awards.

I’ve been in love with the album since I first heard it, so keep a look out for its release. It’s pure glam rock/snyth pop -- you’ll love it!

Tonight I want you to check out a remix of album track The Bears Are Coming by Emperor Machine -- i’m in love!
