The video for Late of the Pier's herky-jerky "Heartbeat" reminds me of that stupid game Portal where all you do is make holes in walls and jump through them at weird angles. That's essentially what happens in the video--except that it also looks whoever made the video is three weeks deep in one hell of a peyote bender. Seriously, I just checked my Coke to see if was spiked with LSD.
"Heartbeat" is on Late of the Pier's Fantasy Black Channel, out now via Astralwerks. [Pitchfork]









How many bands that sound like this do we, as music consumers, actually need?
