Insound Staff Pick - 2008! James Murphy, aka LCD Soundsystem, returns with Sound of Silver March 20 on DFA/Capitol Records. Sound of Silver, the follow-up to the massively acclaimed and eponymous 2005 debut, was recorded over the summer of 2006 in a farm in upstate New York by Murphy and visitors from the big city including live band members Nancy Whang, Pat Mahoney and Tyler Pope.

This self-titled release marks LCD Soundsystem's debut full-length. The album consists of entirely new material and a bonus CD of all previously released singles. This album was clearly made by someone who owns tons of records and cannot escape them when making his own music. Acid house, post-punk, garage rock, psychedelic pop, and at least a dozen other things factor into his songs, and he's not afraid to be obvious. This is the case with "Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up" - drowsy/dazed John Lennon vi   [ read more ]

With the LCD Soundsystem debut full length double-CD dropping (via A Major Label) in America February 15, 2005, DFA Records takes what was meant as a UK B-Side for the album's first single "Movement" and gives it the good ol' 12-inch vinyl treatment, with vocal and instrumental ve   [ read more ]

lynchpin and LCD Soundsystem honcho James Murphy returns with a brand new single taken from his highly anticipated debut album. As for what 'Movement' is about....in James' own words...'That's mostly about the 'new rock', which is a movement without the bother of having any meaning. You know a journalistic movement that announces, 'Rock is back! The guitar is back!' Whoo-hoo. But for what? Its like saying, 'The high-waisted pant is back!' Its fucking vacuous and the bands are tedious. They all sound like Th   [ read more ]
