–Featured Release: LCD Soundsystem – “American Dream”–

Genre: Post-Punk/Electronic // Label: DFA Records/Columbia

Background:

American Dream is LCD Soundsystem’s first album in seven years, following 2010’s This Is Happening.  Featuring the band’s most vibrant and colorful album artwork to date, American Dream also feels warmer and more expansive than past records.  A lot of the tracks, especially the lead single ‘Call The Police’, seem to be heavily channeling James Murphy’s inner David Bowie/U2.  In a year filled with high-profile comebacks, LCD Soundsystem stands proudly near the top of the totem pole,  boasting a must-hear record for fans of electronic-influenced rock and post-punk.

Listen to “Call The Police”, below:
