Video: Watch LCD Soundsystem Make Music

LCD Soundsystem are releasing a new record this year on May 18th called This Is Happening. I have heard this record, and it is my favorite of the year so far. It is seriously batshit crazy good, even better than Sound Of Silver and miles ahead of their self-titled debut. Anyway, I recently got an email hipping me to some “making-of” videos that LCD main-man James Murphy is posting on YouTube. This particular installment finds Murphy crafting “Dance Yrself Clean,” the album’s huge (like Batman-huge) lead track -- a track that contains my hands-down favorite pop moment of 2010 (it’s when the beat drops around the two minute mark [SPOILER!]). The video is notable mostly for giving us a peek inside Murphy’s studio (which features a very prominent American flag and a lot of cool-looking instruments). I also like the part where Murphy “talks about [his] feelings while floating around a fucking pool in Hollywood like an asshole.” Check it below:

BONUS: For extra credit, watch the official video for “Drunk Girls,” the album’s rambunctious first single:

I hope you’re starting to get excited!
