Doyle Clarifies LCD Soundsystem Quote
Al Doyle admits he got carried away when talking about the band's plans.
LCD Soundsystem guitarist Al Doyle has spoken about his recent interview, where he implied the band would no longer record under that name.
Doyle, a member of Hot Chip, has now admitted he didn't know what frontman James Murphy's plans for next year are. Writing on hotchip.co.uk, he clarified his quotes:
"A news article has appeared, quoting me as saying that LCD Soundsystem is over, or that they have split up.
"I would like to clarify that LCD have not disbanded, nor could the entity be disbanded in the sense that it has always had a revolving cast of players – it would be like saying that The Fall had disbanded, or Prince has split up.
"LCD Soundsystem is James Murphy, and he's allowed to take time off, do other things, and come back, or not come back. And he doesn't have to tell you or anyone else about it.
"I didn't know if anything was going on with LCD next year, which is the truth, and that's all I should have said, but I gabbled on a bit because that's the way I am...
"Anyway, I should probably stop doing interviews after this, which is already my second chance. But the main point to take away is that more LCD music is in the pipeline, which is surely good news for everybody."
Murphy recently told NME that he plans to record a third LCD Soundsystem album, with eight songs already written.
