In an interview with Rolling Stone focusing on his soundsystem Despacio, James Murphy revealed that he will be releasing a live album of the final LCD Soundsystem show at Madison Square Garden.
Big news, that, but Murphy slipped it in after talking about his 2013 work with Arcade Fire, Kathleen Hanna, David Bowie, and more, as if it was no big deal. He did go into more detail, though:
I mixed it significantly differently than the film [Shut Up and Play the Hits], because the film is mixed for your eye and the record is mixed for your ears. The film is mixed digitally, because you have to watch it in a theater and make little adjustments all through for a four-hour film, whereas the record is just mixed analog to tape, the way I normally do.
Murphy then went on to call the process “a comedy of errors,” explaining how not being on a label meant doing all the grunt work himself, and on an already full schedule.
“I guess somebody else would just have someone else deal with the movie, but I’m an idiot and wanted to mix all that audio.”
His suffering is our gain, though, as Murphy revealed the album will likely come out early next year. Even more exciting for fans, he went into a bit of detail about his own music. Murphy currently plans on creating original music again as soon as he finishes the studio. In the meantime, we’ll be able to relive once more the final days of the most acclaimed part of Murphy’s music career.
