Late Of The Pier – Space and the Woods

• 10th Jun 2008

“This is no place for a mind or a thought” sings Sam Eastgate whilst canoodling with Gary Numan’s keyboard player. This is a regular plod along through a 2008 indie dance floor and is not as startling as either LOTP’s contemporaries or even their ridiculously off kilter previous efforts.

Come on lads you don’t have to keep your feet on the ground, whilst your heads are in the clouds.
