This Is Happening

Of the many arresting moments that fill LCD Soundsystem's This Is Happening perhaps the most unexpected comes less than halfway through album opener 'Dance Yrself Clean' The seemingly unassuming lowkey rumble of a song morphs from its mumbled beginnings into an outsized flash of synth ballast and wailing vocals The sudden shift is like the flicking on of a light the perfect example of frontmansongwritermastermind James Murphy's effortless balance of restraint and release organic rock and electro pop and muted cool and vibrant emotion This study in contrasts pervades LCD Soundsystem's third and possibly final release an album where Murphy refracts images of heartbreak and longing through the scattered light of a disco ballWith This Is Happening Murphy has created a work of both nuanced introspection and distanced observation DFA is proud to offer the vinyl version of this much lauded release which also includes contributions from drummer Pat Mahoney and sound collagist Gavin Russom
