Back to the Music: LCD Soundsystem
"New York's the greatest, if you can get someone to pay the rent," sings James Murphy (aka LCD Soundsystem) on "North American Scum," from his sophomore effort "Stemsound of Silver."
In addition to witty truisms, the album offers up tasty electronic beats making the album incredibly danceable as well as listenable. The new album continues in the vein of the bratty techno pop of Murphy's self-titled debut, especially the stellar "Daft Punk is Playing at My House."
But you don't have to take my word for it. LCD Soundsystem is at Bowery Ballroom Friday and Saturday.
