Last weekend, Late of the Pier played a DJ-set in London. To prove to the whole wide world that they actually own several records, they uploaded a full mix to be downloaded for free. There’s not a lot of mixing going on, it’s basically one song after another, but it’s a nice compilation of summery songs.

Download link + tracklist after the jump.

Got room for another ‘band to watch’?

Late of the Pier is following the usual steps to hype heaven: lots of hoohaa (please read this like Al Pacino) in the NME and a new video by Saam Farahmand for ‘The Bears Are Coming’.
