Late Of The Pier are to release a new single next month entitled 'Blueberry'.

The track, due out on December 14, is intended as a preview for their forthcoming second album.

In a statement, the band said: “Here is the beginning of something new. We’re rewriting our own rules. And taking on new projects.

“In new forms of expression. The past few years have given us a lot to think about and feel.

"And now we begin to bring to life our imaginations. Here is the beginning of something new.”

'Blueberry' will be released via producer Erol Alkan's record label Phantasy.

Late Of The Pier's debut album, 'Fantasy Black Channel', was released last year. Their new album is due out in 2010.
