Update: It appears LCD Soundsystem were unaware of Rhino’s reissue campaign – frontman James Murphy has released a frustrated statement condemning the label’s reissues.
As Consequence of Sound quotes Murphy: “LCD Soundsystem certainly aren’t announcing shit, as they had no idea that these were even coming out. Just buy the records from DFA [Records], like you have been able to for years,”
In more positive news, the band has announced a six night residency at New York venue Brooklyn Steel, set to begin on Friday 16th June. You can also check out details of CAS Sydney’s celebration of Sound of Silver below.
