LCD Soundsystem have unveiled the city-scape video for their Franz Ferdinand cover ‘Live Alone’.
So that’s it then. LCD Soundsystem are no more. Holding a final run of shows at Madison Square Garden, the band bowed out in style and – thanks to a nifty web stream – British fans could watch every last step.
The band’s final recordings were, rather appropriately, done for a friend. LCD Soundsystem have a close association with Glasgow, and agreed to tackle a Franz Ferdinand track for a covers EP.
Released on Record Store Day, the EP saw LCD Soundsystem cover ‘Live Alone’. Now a video has emerged to accompany the track, featuring plenty of rooftop shots, subways and buzzing lights.

Stepping aside from LCD Soundsystem, James Murphy spent the summer DJing disco at various European festivals.
Keeping his cards close to his chest, the producer is now set to enter the acting world. Fader reports that James Murphy is set to play an “ageing hipster” in ‘The Comedy’. Co-starring with Tim Heidecker of ‘Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job!’ the film is set in Brooklyn and features Murphy as an “ageing hipster”.
Jagjaguwar are helping produce the film, which was written and directed by Rick Alverson. ‘The Comedy’ has already accepted into next year’s Sundance Festival, with a European release to be announced shortly.
‘The Comedy’ is set to be released next year.
