LCD Soundsystem – Sound Of Silver (Vinyl)
LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy is chiefly regarded as a man with a gargantuan record collection. Less appreciated is the depth of his songwriting, and the unsettling accuracy with which he depicts the fretful ageing hipster whose gargantuan record collection is no longer enough. Beneath the jokes in his signature tune, "Losing My Edge", lurks real fear of growing old and redundant.
Amid the dependably thrilling punk-funk ('North American Scum') and mercurial Bowie-vs-Underworld art-techno ('Get Innocuous'), Sound of Silver houses two songs that pack a devastating emotional punch. 'Someone Great' is an addictive techno elegy, with an unexplained tragedy at its shattered heart, while the spine-tingling, New Order-tinged 'All My Friends' is the sound of midlife stock-taking in the centre of a crowded dancefloor. This is dance-rock for grown-ups: extraordinary. (Guardian)
