New music from LCD Soundsystem‘s James Murphy will feature on the new movie from Noah Baumbach.
The film is entitled Greenberg, and will be released on March 12 through Focus Features. Baumbach has worked with Wes Anderson in the past, and his own previous features include The Squid and The Whale and Kicking and Screaming.
Talking to Drowned In Sound, Murphy explains that he’s been “working on the LCD record, and the Shit Robot record, as well as scoring a movie for Noah Baumbach, which has been really fun…I like the director – we’re friends – and we like a lot of the same music, so this has been entirely fun. Sounds NOTHING like LCD, really, which cracks us both up. It’s made to fit the movie, not be ‘my record’. But I’m really proud of it.”
Check out the trailer for the film here, and look out for a cameo from Murphy around the 23-second mark.
“I guess it sounds like LCD, really. I mean, it’s different in some ways, maybe the same amount that SOS was different than the first record – maybe more different. Hard to say until it’s done. It sounded more generous when I was in LA, but since I’ve been back, the few things I’ve written for it and worked on are more spartan and muscular, the way LCD stuff often is. I think it will be good. I’m really proud of it so far. I just hope I don’t ruin it.
“There’s a theoretical song called ‘Why Do You Hate Music’, which has nothing to do with the Annie song (haven’t heard it), which it probably has a good deal in common with, but not yet an actual song. I often have song titles that guide the record but don’t get made. This will likely be one of them. Last LP there were several: ‘British Teen’, ‘Here Comes The Backlash’, ‘French Riot’. I just make them up and it makes us laugh.”
