It’s been nearly five years since LCD Soundsystem announced their demise. Since then, James Murphy has gone on to work on a number of other projects, including Arcade Fire‘s critically acclaimed Reflektor album. Not that this particular writer cares all that much. There are certain points in my life where the end of a music path was like breathing a sigh of relief. To the Future!
With this passing a delectable new project has emerged. Former LCD Soundsystem drummer, Pat Mahoney, along with Dennis McNany, head of Run Roc Records and alias Jee Day, have united to form a new collaborative called Museum of Love. This yummy piece of musical melange is utter bliss. Their first single, “Down South,” released in July 2013, is a synthesized croon that is both stylized and down-tempo. Mahoney’s vocals range from whispered hushes to delicate falsetto’s. With heavy use of synths and percussion, this album ranges from chill beats to electronic jam-freakouts.
The full length, self-titled, LP by Museum of Love, was released in October 2014 and features “Down South,” along with standout tracks “The Who’s Who of Who Cares” and “Monotronic.”
Strawberry Tongue Radio is pleased to be featuring the song “Down South” and “Monotronic” from Museum of Love.
