| | You play some rock, you do some drugs, you hit the clubs, you make some beats, you're young. Eventually you get older and your back hurts if you're out too late and you get a real job, start doing "unplugged" sets, and sell off your collection except for the good Bowie records. Or: You're James Murphy, who realized that growing (the fuck) up could make his rock deeper and his dance music bolder, and that actually there's no reason for them not to be the same thing. Of course, the second LCD album is informed by the records Murphy devoured as a kid, from Steve Reich to Yello, but it's also fresh enough to raise chills: angry, elegiac, hilarious, totally idiomatic, sequenced as well as any LP this decade, and given both mass and momentum by his perspective and experience. I cannot wait to hear the records he's making when he's 55. |
