9. New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down
More Info:
James Murphy, aka LCD Sound system, returns with a new album SOUND OF SILVER. SOUND OF SILVER was recorded over the summer of 2006, in a farm in upstate New York by Murphy and visitors from the big city including live band members Nancy Whang, Pat Mahoney and Tyler Pope. There, between silver foil-covered walls, nine tracks were crafted into one of the pinnacle albums of 2007, whose sonic innovation will define musical trends for the year to come.
Reviews:
Still-influential DFA honcho James Murphy drives his disco-punk coupe even deeper into Irony City. Will there be anything as spot-on snarky as "Losing My Edge," or bizarre as the 45-minute track he recorded specifically for Nike to soundtrack long-distance runs? Odds are the unpredictable Murphy manages to equal'"if not top'"himself.
