LCD Soundsystem’s new album This Is Happening, was supposed to be released in March, but was pushed back to May. So now, in about a week, we’ll be able to have it (May 18th).
Sadly, James Murphy has informed the music community that this will be his fourth and last album as LCD Soundsystem. I can’t help but to feel sad that ‘this is happening’. 😦
Read an interview with him from Clash Magazine here.
ALSO…click here to preview the whole album! I have a feeling I’m going to wear it out this summer!
Track Listing:
1. Dance Yrself Clean (Starts off slow, then surprises you with a ‘BAM!’ into some loud dance music)
2. Drunk Girls (Has some musical elements very similar to “North American Scum”)
3. One Touch
4. All I Want
5. I Can Change* (Reminiscent to the likes of Erasure, Yaz, The Cure, Love & Rockets, etc.)
6. You Wanted a Hit*
7. Pow Pow (sounds like the Talking Heads)
8. Somebody’s Calling Me
9. Home
* = my favorites


No fear! He was on the radio a couple of days ago and was ambiguous on the subject of the band splitting up, and wasn’t sure if he wanted to call it a day – maybe we can still pray that LCD will brighten our lives up! Can’t wait for the physical release of This Is Happening!
Ahhh…hmm…well, I hope so! I can’t wait either! Thanks for the heads up! 🙂
