LCD Soundsystem

yup

warning unwarranted and perhaps meaninglessly broad generalization ahead:

cali beach hippie balearic as the carefree flipside of disco?

Why don't they just release the next album like this and not say a word?

Murphy, who will both produce and play bass on the disc...

...which is a bit different to the LCD records where he does practically everything.

not much of a refutation

in looking at his first album artist credits, looks like he had a wide array of players on there as well but with SOS he definitely moved more in the direction of a proper "band".

just saying he is not the lone wolf in a studio with no help that that post made it out to be

Performer [Fun Machine]

thing with knobs

what on earth is a 'fun machine'

What isn't it? It is GLORIOUS. You will bow down before Fun Machine.

anyway i'd say one song out of that lot is anything approaching a 'proper band', but whatever.

To whatever degree Murphy works in the studio, it's safer to say LCD Soundsystem are a band than a solo project. They are definitely James Murphy's band, but a band they are.

We could get into the "what exactly IS a band" argument if you want!

oh we really don't! seriously, this sounds like "LCD soundsystem frontman and drummer act as rhythm section for some other dudes"; it's a bit of a leap to "why didn't LCD just go classic rock already??" when he appears to be just, you know, playing bass rather than writing the songs and playing the majority of the music.

yep

though fwiw murphy doing americana would be unbelievable

dudes i think you are confused...hockey night had signed to DFA as a band...then there was some backstabbing and in-fighting and shit and the band broke up...but the two main songwriters stayed on as hockey night and still signed to DFA...they just dismissed the rest of the members...

so basically this is going to be the hockey night project with session dudes and murphey filling in for the ex-members of hockey night....if you wanna speculate one what it's going to sound like check out hockey night. this is wells and sprangers project not murphys'

Thank you M@tt! I wish you had posted the original news and not PFM.

it's not like they held a press conference or anything, they just talked about it in an interview!! what a weird thing to disapprove of

CAPTAIN SAVE A MURPHY

lol kidding, slocki, had M@tt posted this before I read the PFM story, I wouldn't have bothered reviving. Sorry guys

The rampant speculation in this revive is cute! And all basically over Hockey Night!! I listened to them in college one time; I thought they had a good name.

the LCDSS-goes-balearic dudes are in tears.

shasta u behind, balearicos moved onto classic rock 9-10 months ago

i'm so behind the times that i still don't fully understand what balearic even is. my idea is that a lot of ppl wish that dire straits had been a disco band.

bingy

i mean bingo, oops

blingee

Guitar - Justin Chearno*

;-D

Bump.

aw smoochblende

I just noticed that if you go back to the original Pfork link above, they've put a correction in it now that states Murphy isn't even a member of the band, he's just producing and mixing the record! So I guess that settles that.

lol, so ridic.

wooooooooooooooooooow

hockey night just sounds like pavement. i guess that's classic rock nowadays?

We were thinking of doing something where we find a lot of the old disco singers in New York that might still be around from the 70s, and get them in as guest vocalists with LCD as a backing band, and tour around as a disco heroes style show.

yes it is

Hell yeah.

!

i'm down

Have they got a wah wah pedal, though?

they've certainly got a fun machine.

who would you dudes want to see singing on such a project? i wonder whose vocal prowess is still up to scratch.

i want people i have never heard of in my life to blow my mind and make me want to buy all their records

Hoos OTM.

does anyone know who the guy is that sang vocals on 45:33?

who would you dudes want to see singing on such a project?

lola!

xp: I just assumed it was James Murphy!

that "hey, your love away from me. shame on me. you can't hide" part? do you think he just changed the pitch of his voice?

that's what i always assumed?

While we're here...

Here's a thread for (re)mixes of LCD Soundsystem

Does anyone know when the 45:33 remixes are coming out? And what they are going to be?

yeah its his "Robot Rock", that said the song is all about that massive drop which is still unlike anything I've ever experienced live

They did *all* of the 45 33 album at a recent Brixton Sunday show. They deliberately began early too and finished by 9pm. SO wish i'd seen that one.

Ideal time and length for a show.

5 minutes for a pee, relatable

I guess being old men now these shorter shows suit them otherwise I'd feel more justified in calling them the electroclash Phish

recently listened to pete shelley's homosapien album for the first time and was reminded that these guys are somewhat of a early 80s alt-electro tribute band

For sure

They deliberately began early too and finished by 9pm

Wish this was every concert

Just checked setlist.fm and didn't expect to see that they played eight nights in total at Brixton Academy over ten days in June. Weird.

Just curious if anybody’s at the Toronto show tonight

Anyway if you are and you see a person of undeclared gender in a very cheap black dress and N95 by the right corner of the stage say hey

I never got the hype for them. Bowie and Talking Heads for the 00's?

I am cursed with this knowledge and now so must you be:

If you don't wanna click-through, it's the homepage for "AMERICA’S PREMIER CLOWN-THEMED LCD SOUNDSYSTEM COVER BAND".

I was at the Gathering of the Juggalos in '08 where they pelted Andrew W.K. with bottles of piss

Hmmmm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K2FT_Si-d4

They are playing a winery tonight about 90 mins away to people they probably despise more than the crypto convention they played at.

"As a compromised, aggregate person
I'm amazed at my decision to play"

probably the same awful cobrasnake people, just older
