James Murphy will reform LCD Soundsystem, according to Arcade Fire that is. We do hope it's true.
Arcade Fire member Richard Reed Parry has said he thinks James Murphy will reform LCD in the future. Does Parry have inside information? Murphy has recently been working with the band on their new studio album 'Reflektor'. Speaking about the time they spent together Parry said, 'We have tried to work with Murphy before but we could never match our diaries, But this time the schedules worked. LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire have toured together lots of times. We have always admired each other's band – LCD are our favourite band ever. I'd be shocked if James doesn't reform them one day. They are too good not to.' Murphy retired the band back in 2011, surely it's time for a reunion tour.
Arcade Fire recently released their new track Reflector which featured David Bowie. Speaking about the experience frontman Will Butler said, 'What was cool was that we were mixing at Electric Lady studios in New York. The line he does on 'Reflektor' echoes the line he does on 'Fame', the song he recorded in the very same studio with John Lennon. So he showed up and said, 'The last time I was here I was recording with John Lennon.' And we looked at each other to say, 'And here you are recording with Arcade Fire'.
Arcade Fire will release their new album 'Reflektor' on October 28th.
