MP3: “Oh You (Christmas Blues)” by LCD Soundsystem
LCD Soundsystem (aka James Murphy) looks to follow-up 2007′s Sound of Silver with easily the most anticipated album (yet untitled) of 2010. Sound of Silver served as Murphy’s magnum opus and was one of the most critically-acclaimed records of last decade. With all the anticipation and expectations, it will be nearly impossible to top that success. However, Murphy brags that the new album is better than the last two. If this is true, fans will not know what to do with themselves this summer. The album is due on May 18th. In the meantime, Murphy also produced the soundtrack for the Ben Stiller/Noah Baumbach comedy, Greenberg. The soundtrack features several original LCD Soundsystem songs, one of which is circulating the music blogisphere. The song is not derivative of LCD Soundsystem’s usual incorporation of dance elements; instead, Murphy does his best David Gilmour impersonation in this bluesy rock tune. If the song is any indication of what fans can expect from future releases, then Murphy was not just bragging.
