I wondered about this too. If so, it might continue their Suburbs / white middle America theme.
I guess they want to keep those college drinking games going then -- drink every time they mention kids or suburbs. Listening to just a few songs is a quick way to get drunk.

James Murphy is a step outside for AF. really curious to see how this one sounds. Usually their production suits what they're playing perfectly. I don't know much about LCD soundsystem. This is intriguing.

"Tunnels."
And then, if you want to hear more (or slightly different), stick on Neon Bible. I prefer it, not everyone does, but it's great.

Ultimately, see them live. I was skeptical going in and they turned out being one of the greatest live bands I've ever seen.

Ditto. I was a casual fan who really liked their first two albums when I saw them in 2007 and I came out a diehard fan. That show was a religious experience.

The very first song, Tunnels, off the very first album should be enough to make you intrigued to listen to more. Its still my favorite AF song.

Will have a listen to all of these in due course - they're playing the BDO festival and coming on just before PJ. Don't want to be going in blind.
