LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, NORTH AMERICAN SCUM, DFA/EMI RECORDS, 5th March 2007James Murphy aka LCD Soundsystem returns with a new single ‘North American Scum’ on DFA/EMI Records on March 5th, the furious and electric first single to be taken from the highly anticipated new album ‘Sound Of Silver’ which follows on March 12th on DFA/EMI Records. The crushing barrage of ‘North American Scum’, the last track recorded for the album sets the tone for what will surely become one of the pinnacle albums of 2007. In keeping with the fine tradition of LCD Soundsystem & DFA on the dancefloor, ‘North American Scum’, is backed by two amazing extended mixes courtesy of Kris Menace and an ‘Onastic Dub’ from Murphy himself & Eric Broucek; this along with the original will be lighting up parties for months to come. ‘Sound Of Silver’ is the follow up to the massively acclaimed and eponymous debut, and was recorded behind silver foil covered walls over the summer of 2006 in a farm in upstate New York and takes the LCD Soundsystem we know and love, and shows their rebirth as a great ‘pop’ band. James Murphy is at least three people, maybe even four: Head of the multi Grammy nominated LCD Soundsystem, travelling DJ, Producer/Remixer and one half of the mighty DFA, label head, etc. Aside from making ‘Sound Of Silver’, 2006 saw Murphy create '45:33' a special project for Nike that has wowed purchasers and joggers the world over – ending the year in several key best of lists, remixing Justin Timberlake, DJing around the globe, getting a dog and planning general mayhem.LCD Soundsystem returns to live action this spring. Expect sonic Carthage, disco breakdowns and the usual LCD live experience. This is the must have ticket this spring.
