Electric Lady Sessions

Electric Lady Sessions is the third live album by Brooklyn electro rock group LCD Soundsystem. Recorded over a three-day session in the Winter 2018 while on tour, it showcases some of the band’s favorite tracks with just a few alterations – no crazy re-makes here. The highlights of the album for me are the three covers by artists such as Heaven 17, Chic, and the Human League. My personals favorites are their takes on Heaven 17’s (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang and Chic’s I Want Your Love, flawlessly sung by Nancy Whang. The whole album is mixed as one continuous recording so expect abrupt endings on some tracks when played individually. For old and new fans.

RIYL: LCD Soundsystem!
