Focker
Track nine, released as a double A-side with "Space and the Woods" in May 2008.
Late of the Pier, from Fantasy Black Channel (2008)
Wikipedia credits Eastgate as writer. The double A-side with a re-recorded "Space and the Woods" came out on May 19, 2008 on 12-inch, 7-inch, CD single and download: the 7-inch pairs the Cenzo Townshend mix of "Space and the Woods" with "Focker", and the 12-inch adds an Alkan mix, a Switch remix and the Rolmops remix of "Focker", at 3:15, which is also on the Japanese edition. The double A-side did not chart. Daniel Brereton directed the video. Wikipedia says it grew from a looped riff, which we could not corroborate; we found no artist statement about its meaning.
Drowned in Sound's Diver wrote, listen to "Focker" and try not to break into a sweat. At The Royal in Derby on February 24, 2009, The Boar called it an electro monstrosity and easily the night's highlight. We found no setlist.fm count, covers or samples, and do not know which version our upload is.
