The excitement for the new LCD Soundystem album in our building is palpable… can you feel it simmering away!?

Ever since 2007’s seminal album Sound Of Silver and its compatriots 45:33 and 45:33 Remixes, we have been waiting with baited breath to get our hands on new tunes from Mr James Murphy of DFA. How on earth do you follow up THE album which brought us the joyful cattiness of North American Scum (WE LIVE IN NORTH AMERICA!!!), the Kraftwerk-inspired railroad clackety-clacks of Get Innocuous, the hypnotic caresses of Us V Them, the poignant swelling anthem All My Friends, and the heart-wrenchingly bittersweet Someone Great??? Sound of Silver wells up such giddying and complex emotions that after a listen, I need a tissue, a hug, a dancefloor podium, and a good long nap.

Trust us however, no one is going to be disappointed with the 2010 album… *drum roll*… THIS IS HAPPENING out on May 14.
