LCD Soundsystem - "Sound of Silver" (2007)

[DudeAsInCool]

As PitchFork notes in their review of "Sound of Silver", "There's not a single weak track here, and many more already feel classic."

Electronic funkmeister James Murphy and his sidekicks (Pat Mahoney, Phil Mossman, Tyler Pope & Nancy Whang + Matt Thornley, Al Doyle, J.D. Mark & Phil Skarich) combine an upbeat mixture of arresting vocals, synthesizers, kalimbas, keyboards, and a rhythm guitar and percussion section that won't quit, into one of the most sophisticated dance albums of the year, or any year.

Check out the catchy "All My Friends" ("If I'm sued into submission/ I can still come home to this")

...or "Someone Great" ("The worst is all the lovely weather/ I'm stunned it's not raining/ The coffee isn't even bitter/ Because, what's the difference.") for their infection beats and sly sense of humor, and you should be immediately hooked as I was. I caught them in LA at the El Rey, and their live performances were every bit as good as they were on the cd.

You can also view more of LCD Soundsystem's work at YouTube. And if you like what you hear, you can pick it up over at Amazon. Recommended.
