In episode six of SKiP’D, Rob & Mike plunge into Late of the Pier’s sole studio album, Fantasy Black Channel, a genre-collage that redefined British alternative music in 2008. Recorded partly in Sam Eastgate’s bedroom and honed at London studios, this record mixes dance-punk revival, glam bursts, and prog-rock flourishes into one electrifying package.

What’s inside:

• A track-by-track breakdown of anthems like “Bathroom Gurgle” and “Space and the Woods,” uncovering their unconventional time signatures and infectious hooks
• Deep dive on producer Erol Alkan’s role in sculpting the fractured, inventive soundscape that made critics hail it as one of 2008’s best British debuts
• Rob & Mike’s candid reactions on the album’s fearless studio experimentation, fractured creative process, and the band’s mission to “take people past their own limits”
