Sound Of Silver

Product Information

Compared to the first LCD Soundsystem album, Sound Of Silver is less silly, funnier, less messy, sleeker, less rowdy, more fun, less distanced, more touching.

has me dancing from the start to holding my lighter up as i sing New York I Love you but your bringing me down.

The video for the track " North American Scum" was also posted to the band's MySpace on February 8, 2007.

A few months after the release of Sound of Silver, the band released the digital-only compilation EP A Bunch of Stuff, released on September 18, 2007 ( 2007-09-18). While Sound of Silver makes no bones about Murphy's well-known appreciation of Brian Eno's pop vocal affectations ("Get Innocuous", "Sound of Silver"), the Velvet Underground ("New York I Love You"), or new-wave ("Watch the Tapes"), it never feels like a paste job, but rather just the well-considered work of someone connecting the dots between the past and the present. The silver ink stamped labels are also a nice touch, although they smudge off with ease so it's worth being delicate when playing them. James Murphy recorded Sound of Silver at the Long View Farm in Massachusetts, where he had previously recorded LCD Soundsystem's eponymous debut album.Pitchfork named two of the album's tracks ("Someone Great" and "All My Friends") in the top ten tracks of 2007 [38] and the album itself was named the second best album of 2007.
