LCD Soundsystem Is Back
James Murphy announces his new album and UK tour
‘Sound Of Silver’ is the follow up to the massively acclaimed and eponymous debut and was recorded over the summer of 2006 in a farm in upstate New York by Murphy and the odd periodic visitor from the city (live band members Nancy Whang, Pat Mahoney & Tyler Pope).
From the first single ‘North American Scum’, out on February 26th, to the lounge piano of love ode to his hometown ‘New York I Love But Your Bringing Me Down’ via the cascading harmonics of ‘Sound Of Silver’ or Someone Great’, this is the definitive sound of LCD Soundsystem!
Aside from making ‘Sound Of Silver’, 2006 saw Murphy create '45:33' a special project for Nike that has wowed purchasers and joggers the world over, remixing Justin Timberlake, DJing around the globe, getting a dog and planning general mayhem.
LCD Soundsystem will return to live action with a full European, with more worldwide dates to be added shortly.
