New LCD Soundsytem Album Probably Out Next Spring

In the most recent issue of dad rock magazine Mojo, LCD Soundsystem mainest man James Murphy said that his highly anticipated third album is due in spring 2010. This would make it three years since the last LCD record (Sound of Silver), so obviously this is a big deal. Here's what Murphy said about the recording process:

"We've been recording in a mansion. It sleeps 10 and there's an amazing pool and it felt pretty amazing. We decided, let's make Los Angeles an imaginary Los Angeles of the soul from 1973. Everyone had to wear white all the time, so it's like some sort of creepy fucking cult and we'd go to parties, 10 people in a mini-van all in white, and we'd have enough of an impact on how Los Angels operated."

Murphy said that the album still has quite a bit to go--he's mostly just got instrumentals at this point--but yeah, new LCD record next spring. Mark your calendars folks. This is not a test. [Drowned in Sound via You Ain't No Picasso]
