LCD Soundsystem releasing a new album is kinda like, I don’t know, the second coming? And it seems like it’s actually gonna happen, due to these videos tidbits LCD’s leader, James Murphy, has started releasing. The first preview clip is a little mini-documentary, providing a peek into the recording environment Murphy chose to work in-in this case, Rick Rubin’s epic, immense Los Angeles mansion. It’s funny, candid, makes you want to wear all white and jump into a swimming pool ASAP! More importantly, it gives viewers a taste of a song from the new album (and shows Murphy recording it): it’s a sparsel, piano-driven track that, despite its less-is-more vibe, still seems funky, moderne and beguiling as hell. It also shows the influence of punk electronica forefathers Suicide and Alan Vega, whose “Bye Bye Bayou” LCD Soundsystem covered so smashingly earlier this year. Indeed, Murphy is a genius at building anticipation, and this taster has us salivating per his master plan: see you at Coachella, when LCD second-headlines the main stage! Then, surely, all will be revealed…
