 Late of the Pier started using the album working title Interesting Adventure in 2006 after practising in Eastgate 's bedroom for about a year and previewed their new material at the Liars Club in Nottingham . After receiving contract offers from Parlophone and Atlantic Records , the band members signed to Parlophone because the label gave them total autonomy over the recording process without pressuring them to be commercially successful immediately . The record deal was followed by the recording of an EP titled <unk> Demo , from which a demo single , " Space and the Woods " , was released in March 2007 . Eastgate has claimed that the band members were influenced by the music of the 1980s during these formative stages of Fantasy Black Channel even though none of them were born before 1986 .
