Neon Musical Insight

Up until today, LCD Soundsystem’s forthcoming third LP was title-less and image-less. Not any longer. That image that you see above is the album artwork for the now officially titled This Is Happening, says Murphy over at DFA records. It’s not bad, but definitely my least favorite bit of artwork of all three albums.

This is Happening drops Stateside on May 18 via DFA/Virgin.

Check out the first single “Drunk Girls” from the album here.

LCD Soundsystem became a household name (or at least a flat-hold name) after he dropped the exhilarating Sound of Silver back in 2007, uping the echelon of Dance-rock to it’s own, incomparable level. With that being said, news of a new record should bring about quite the anticipation. On Monday, May 17 in the U.K. (and assuming the 18 in the U.S.) LCD Soundsytem will finally drop it’s third full-length album. The as-of-yet untitled album will consist of nine tracks, that will run at 65 minutes P4k reports.

The tracklist can be found below, with either “Drunk Girls” or “Change” likely being the first single.

In support of their James Murphy produced debut album Stuck On Nothing, the Philadelphia classic rock revivalists Free Energy will be gearing up and heading out on a North American tour, beginning at the end of February. I was lucky enough to receive a promo of Stuck on Nothing a few weeks ago and have been spinning it ever since. Foreign Born will be joining Free Energy on tour as their opening act (for most of the gigs.)

Stuck on Nothing will be available digitally on March 6 and physically on May 4 via Astralwerks/DFA records. Dates below:
