Liam Gallagher performing at the 2017 Leeds Festival (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
Liam Gallagher and LCD Soundsystem will both be performing when the next series of Later…With Jools Holland begins on the BBC at the end of this month.
Gallagher is booked for the opening show on September 30th ahead of his As You Were solo album release soon after, while James Murphy and LCD Soundsystem will be there with their own excellent new record American Dream. “Overall, American Dream is a compelling album on so many levels, one that manages to send a boundary-pushing band over the edge,” we said of it.
“And somehow instead of recording an un-listenable ambient, noisy mess like a post-dance generation equivalent to Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music, you get something very different, something feels more like Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here; it takes the band’s sound and former success to a new level by challenging what they did previously, yet without ever losing sight of the songs.”
