Bands Of The Day #21 and #22 - LATE OF THE PIER x METRONOMY "The Bears Are Coming"

Even in these times of rampant genrelessness, Late of the Pier are an act that stands out as cross-pollinators riding a crystalline wave of musical harlotry. The quartet from Castle Donington revel in mashing together broken shards of hammy, glam-electro with scrabbling post-punk abandon, all the while somehow managing to hang the whole thing together fresh and always danceable.

This remix, courtesy of Brighton’s Metronomy, takes that template and extends it out further; the maximalist approach to sound catching that rarest of nu-rave variables in ‘clownstep’ drum’n’bass. So often neglected in favour of pretty much everything else in the sonic palette, clownstep is an abomination, but here, somehow, it manages to hang whole together, fresh and always danceable.
