WTF MATE? 

Listen to LCD Soundsystem's This Is Happening

it's happening, listen to the entire album 

I'm sure James Murphy was saying "this can't be hapenning," on Monday when LCD Soundsystem's new album, This Is Happening, leaked. Yes, it is has been placed on the internet for all to download. But in all due respect for artists and their music, and economic well-being, their reliance on the public purchasing their album. So here's the trend that has become standard for big name bands w/ leaked album, STREAM IT. Go listen to This Is Happening over at LCD Soundsystem's website. You will be swept off your LA Gears. They have composed a phenomenal farewell album.

LCD Soundsystem | "Dance Yrself Clean"

LCD Soundsystem - Dance Yrself Clean

The best part about This Is Happening is the fact that we do not know what to expect form James Murphy on this last album LCD Soundsystem is putting out. This third and final album is coming out May 18th. Here is yet another track from the album, one that lends to the greater act and expectations of the 18th. This is a low quality version of "Dance Yrself Clean," an almost 9 minute tune that plays off the interesting mind of Murphy to produce innovative LCD Soundsytem track. not a roller coaster of horns and ticks that are usual. Be on the lookout for a HQ version soon.

LCD Soundsystem | "I Can Change"

Here is a brand new song from the upcoming album, This Is Happening, which is coming out May 18th. This song is a stark contrast to the party anthem "Drunk Girls," which was the first song premiered off the third LCD album. The length, depth, and girth of this song are along the same lines as my favorite LCD Soundsystem song, "All My Friends," with it's characteristically strong lyrics and vocals showcased over sticky electronic beats. An mp3 is waiting after the jump.
