NEWS: LCD Soundsystem To Release The London Sessions

LCD Soundsystem release 'The London Sessions' digitally on November 8th 2010 through DFA/Parlophone records.

The London Sessions is a unique, John Peel Session style nine track encapsulation of one of today's most acclaimed acts in perhaps their rawest and most original recordings to date.

The session itself was recorded in one day at the pool/miloco studios in south London on June 29th 2010, in the week following this year’s triumphant Glastonbury performance. It was locked in order to record tracks for dissemination across the globe through the medium of contemporary rock radio; fans of LCD Soundsystem will know that radio sessions are something that have never been a staple of the bands career thus far because of the belief in the necessity to maintain the highest quality of all sonic recordings released into the ether.

The set which spans the breadth of their career to date, perfectly captures the intuitive live evolvement of LCD as a band. Here nothing is replicated with computers, everything instead is recreated in real time, tougher, looser and less clinically. It features tracks from all of their studio albums to date, as well as long lost b-side classic 'Yr City's A Sucker' and is a must for any fan of the band. The tracks were subsequently mixed by James Murphy in NYC at DFA's plantain studio & mastered by his longtime cohort bob weston in chicago.

Track Listing

• Us V Them
• All I Want
• Drunk Girls
• Get Innocuous
• Daft Punk Is Playing At My House
• All My Friends
• Pow Pow
• I Can Change
• Yr City's A Sucker

Since the release of ‘This Is Happening’, the speculation has continued to build that this is their final album and the prelude to the end! Anyone who witnessed their sold out April tour and any one of this summers triumphant festival headline shows at 02 Wireless, Electric Picnic, Reading/Leeds & Bestival or the aforementioned Glastonbury performance will know that LCD are still one of the most explosive and relevant live bands around today. The band has been an omni-present live force across the world since their new line-up debuted at Coachella back in March, selling out the legendary 14,000 capacity Hollywood Bowl in L.A. (twice) & stealing the show everywhere from Bonneroo to Fuji Rocks via Australia, France, Germany, Tel Aviv and beyond.

LCD Soundsystem has big plans for 2011, including coming to New Zealand for the Big Day Out!
