This album is chaotic, spontaneous, and a lot of fun to listen to. Dance punk isn't a genre I would consider myself keen to listen to, but Late of the Pier makes their brand accessible and thrilling. It's a shame they haven't been planning on releasing new material any time soon, because these guys made this album at such a young age with so much potential ahead of them. "Focker" is still one of my favorite tracks.

Great release from a band that is relatively new to the indie scene. Every riff in this album is fucking catchy. I especially like "Focker" - that opening synth line is orgasmic. VW is a great instrumental track. Criticism: may have relied on synth a little too much. Although maybe I'm an idiot and not realizing that this is what makes this band awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of these guys in coming years.

This album is a mixed bag of brilliant, infectiously fun, hyperactive music and lazy monotony. At their best, this band really shine above and beyond any of their contemporaries, however they sometimes lack a sense of drive and focus. Despite its obvious flaws, Fantasy Black Channel is much more hit than miss, and offers a refreshing, unique take on today's music scene. Evidently Late of the Pier are a band for the future, but with this debut release under their belts, they could quite literally take the world by storm, all they need to do now is avoid the dreaded "disappointing second album syndrome" that befalls so many promising British bands, and the sky is their limit.
