New York hipsters LCD Soundsystem are back with a new album ‘Sound Of Silver’, due for release in March (watch this space). But in the meantime James Murphy & the gang are unleashing this very tasty teaser. ‘North American Scum’ has got everything you’d expect from LCD Soundsystem, B52’s & Talking Heads wackiness, a great set of lyrics, ‘I hate the feeling when you’re looking at me that way, coz we’re North Americans, but if we act all shy it’ll make it ok, makes it go away’ And all the kids that wanna make the scene, here in North America, when all your kids get to read it in magazines, we don’t have those. Where’s the love tonight, there’s no love and the kids are uptight. So throw a party until the cops come in and bust it up’ New York’s the greatest if you can get someone to pay the rent, it’s the furthest you can live from the government.’ All singing and dancing on an irresistible stomping groove.
