The latest offering from Castle Donington old-balls, Late Of The Pier, is their strangest yet. ‘The Bears Are Coming’ continues on, from where they left off with last year’s ‘Bathroom Gurgle’, with its irresistible electronic beats. Late Of The Pier have never been simple musicians, in any case, and the introduction of tribal drums confirms this. By combining such odd instrumentation with a fantastic fusion of multi-genre squirming synthesizers, Late Of The Pier have definitely created a dance floor classic.
The beat’s syncopation surprisingly fits into the chorus, referencing the famous, spiritual song ‘Wade In The Water’. The continuation of that beat throughout the whole song certainly mixes well with the surging, chaos of the melody. Late Of The Pier have found a brilliant producer in Erol Alkan, and this team have turned brilliant ideas into ones of sporadic, yet pure, genius.
This is, without a doubt, bizarre music. However, Late Of The Pier are masters at their unique, weird electro-funk.
