Calling all Late of the Pier fans. Go to http://earth-window.org for a very cool and innovative way of revealing a new song from frontman Sam Dust. It appears his new project is called Earth-Window-O. This was found after being asked to say ‘Hi’ to an email address from Late of the Pier’s now barely used Facebook page. A reply was received almost instantly with a crudely drawn animation. Clicking this brings you to a web page filled with more strange drawings and soundscapes. Your aim is to click through several trippy screens while listening to the equally weird sounds. Eventually you are directed to a private Soundcloud link of a song called LA Priest. It is only just over two minutes long but is still full of potential. It is quite chilled out but still sounds inventive and different. If you want to skip the fun part of discovering the song then please try the link below but it may not work.
Late of the Pier were one of the most underrated bands of the last decade. Fans are still hoping for a reunion after only one amazing album called Fantasy Black Channel released back in 2008. It is hard to believe that was 6 years ago. After revealing stand-alone single ‘Best in Class‘ in 2010 they seemly disappeared. Their synth-lead pop is greatly missed and songs like ‘Space and the Woods’ still sound great.
*UPDATE* It turns out the band is called La Priest and the song is called Oino. They have signed with Domino and you can listen to the full length song on soundcloud now.
