Late of the Pier - 'Bathroom Gurgle'

Okay, they may be only two singles into their career, but the ridiculously young Late of the Pier boys are yet to put a foot wrong. By far one of the most exciting bands to emerge in 2007, ‘Bathroom Gurgle’ has been produced by their self-confessed number one fan Erol Alkan and is another appetiser of their exhilarating potential. Wholly unpredictable and erratic, the opening segue is basically two minutes of eighties-tinged chunky bass lines and moody synth-pop brilliance… then, all of a sudden, it gets weird - a sonorous Princeified space-age operatic breaks out from front man Samuel Dust, before the band delve into a chaotic, scatty mix of hyperactive electronic music and Mr Dust himself delivering several ditties sounding  as if he’s possessed by the spirit of five different singers. Wrong - yet very, very right.
