LCD Soundsystem, “Bye Bye Bayou” MP3

• story Julianne Escobedo Shepherd

James Murphy covered a song by Suicide’s Alan Vega and it sounds like a disco swamp in a rainstorm. But then maybe we’re just influenced by the cover art—props to the makeup artist, that shade of violet is flattering on any face. Actually it sounds like Murphy and Vega are holed up in a bunker with mood lighting and dodging the search lamps of the helicopters flying above. It’s all very romantic. LCD is giving this away to the first 20,000 subscribers only, so skip to it if you think you can’t handle the slowburning tropic thunder.
