LCD Soundsystem guru James Murphy has revealed the first enticing details of the recording sessions for LCD Soundsystem's forthcoming third album.

Speaking to Mojo, Murphy said,

"We've been recording in a mansion. It sleeps 10 and there's an amazing pool and it felt pretty amazing. We decided, let's make Los Angeles an imaginary Los Angeles of the soul from 1973. Everyone had to wear white all the time, so it's like some sort of creepy fucking cult and we'd go to parties, 10 people in a mini-van all in white, and we'd have enough of an impact on how Los Angels operated."

Murphy went on to say the follow up to 2008's 'Sound Of Silver' is currently only instrumental but is shaping up to be a more courageous record,

"I'm working on a song called 'Why Do You Hate Music?'. Everyone seems to hate music right now, even people who make music. There's a song called 'Love In LA', which has an Eddy Grant, Sly & Robbie feel. I'm doing what I set out to do on Sound of Silver, which is take more chances."

The as yet unnamed album will be released in Spring 2010.
