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.
― Deep House, M.D. (haitch), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 00:37 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

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'

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.

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.

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?

the prins thomas one (of part 3) has been around since last year; it was on his RA podcast. no idea when any of it's due out, though.

Nothing much to add except Someone Great is my favourite song of all time. Just rooted itself in me instantly with that hook and all that sadness. Can tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard it. Have so many associations with those first two albums (and yeah I do consider the self titled to be one). Ex of mine actually introduced me to them by putting Never as Tired As When I’m Waking Up on a mix CD for me which, in retrospect? Not that representative of their style!
― Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Tuesday, 30 January 2024 22:25 (two months ago) link

I saw James Murphy creeping around The Four Horseman, the restaurant he owns in Brooklyn, when I met a buddy for brunch. He did look as if he'd lost his edge.

Yeah Someone Great is an incredible tune, floored me the first time I heard it. Even if everything else sucked he’s classic for that alone. And it’s more or less an original isn’t it?
