I always thought silver’s better than gold

Mr. James Murphy said in an interview for Inrockuptible he got the idea for the follow up to his debut (if you could call the ’05 album a debut when talking about Murphy) while sleeping...So he got up…woke up his wife and told him the idea…And so “Sound Of Silver” came to be, the long-awaited second album of the Long Island-born New Yorker….With a greater disco vibe, with a unexpected ballad (“New York I Love You”), conceived for a generation that heads straight for the dance floor, not without worrying about what’s going to happen tomorrow (do Klaxons have anything to say about this?). And given the fact that Mr. Murphy hates art with no precise purpose, this album is…erm…here to remind us that Murphy is the reason why (well, one of them, at least)…”I was the first to play Daft Punk to the rock kids”….With “Sound Of Silver”, he uses a whole album to say it…and he is not so upfront about it…Because now LCD Soundsystem has proven they weren’t just a hype band?…
