Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "The debut offers a fabulous simulation of '80s new wave, with burping, sputtering synths and sleazy, Bowie-inspired crooning from frontman Sam Eastgate.", "LOTP utilize staccato guitars and unwavering downbeat drum stomps to set the stage for the over-the-top bombast of spacey synths.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "With blue-sky ELO harmonies, Bloc Party/Franz Ferdinand four-on-the-floor punk and a dozen flavors of squishy synth scuzz.", Ranked #3 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "FANTASY BLACK CHANNEL is the culmination of trial and error, direction and experimentation, and bold dance and rock ethics.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Late Of The Pier are blatant sonic time-bandits, lifting the best parts of the past 30 years of rock history with the some vintage synthesizers in tow.", "The angular yet danceable set combines a mixture of menace and fun volatile enough to hint that their live shows must be irresistible."
