LCD Soundsystem To Release Final Show As Live Album Next Year

LCD Soundsystem's final show took place at New York's Madison Square Garden in April 2011, and was documented in the 'Shut Up and Play the Hits' film. Now, James Murphy has confirmed a live album of the show next year.

Speaking to Rolling Stone Murphy said: 

And finally, Jesus, the fucking live album. It’s killing me. That’s been just murder... I mixed it significantly differently than the film [Shut Up and Play the Hits], because the film is mixed for your eye and the record is mixed for your ears... It was like the concert happened, and then I spent the next year and a half fucking with it. I was like, “I’m done! Ah, shit. I gotta go deal with the fucking movie.” I had to do Shut Up and Play the Hits, and dealing with the live footage, and mixing all the sound for the live footage, and then I had to do the whole four-hour concert and edit all that footage and mix everything. It was great, but also, like, shitting hell. It really just refused to die. I guess somebody else would just have someone else deal with the movie, but I'm an idiot and wanted to mix all that audio.

It is expected to be released in early 2014.

Arcade Fire Reveal More Details For New Double Album 'Reflektor'

Yesterday Arcade Fire debuted the single and video for the title track to their forthcoming new record, now the band have revealed more details about their now confirmed, double album.

The album artwork, inspired by Greek mythology, features a sculpture of the Greek legend of Orpheus and Eurydice by Auguste Rodin.

As we previously reported, 'Reflektor', produced by James Murphy, will be released on October 29 via Merge, and will be a double album comprised of 13 songs. It is available to pre-order now on iTunes or via the Arcade Fire Online Store.

In a recent interview with BBC, Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler said they had written 50 or 60 songs, which were then redefined. 

 “[It] made more sense to stretch it out to two records. I never wanted to be in a band that could never play whatever music we wanted to, and I think that every record has been a project itself and some of the stuff on this record is really going to surprise people – it's even more different than ‘Reflektor’ I would say.” Butler explained.

"It’s longer than ‘The Suburbs’ – it’s a double record – mostly down to the fact that the songs are a lot longer,” he added. “I mean, ‘Reflector’ is seven-and-a-half, there’s another couple of seven-minute songs on the record and so it made more sense to stretch it out to two records with two distinct sides. It’s more of a classic double LP vibe where you have to flip the side and it takes you to a different place.” He added.

Watch: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Reveal "Despair" Music Video

Yeah Yeah Yeahs have unveiled the video for their new single "Despair", taken from their latest album 'Mosquito' released back in April via Interscope.

It is the first-ever video filmed atop the Empire State Building, and was directed by Patrick Daughters. Watch it below.


About the video, Karen O said: "I felt like I could give as personal a performance because of our history together. It was important to us that it felt intimate despite being filmed at one of NYC’s most famous landmarks and an international cultural icon. It was my first-ever trip up to the top of the ESB, top of the world, we were up there from 3am to sunrise, I’m guessing very few get to see that view from up there at those hours."

"I gotta say I had a ‘the impossible is possible’ moment up there with Nick and Brian. If someone would have sat us down at the Mars Bar years back and told us that we’d be performing our music on the top of the Empire State Building one day, we probably would have thought that’s the stuff that dreams are made of, not us, no way."
