The fourth single from LCD Soundsystem and one of the most sought-after entries in the entire DFA catalog, back in print for the first time in a decade and cut fresh at 45rpm for maximum fidelity. Originally released in 2004 and later included on the bonus disc of the CD version of the acclaimed self-titled debut album, "Yr City's A Sucker" has remained a cult favorite among devotees of the band and remains one of the finest long-form workouts James Murphy ever committed to wax.
The full 12" version runs over nine minutes, opening with a brief, almost tentative intro before falling into a loose-limbed midtempo groove that the DFA production team guides through a series of subtle, hypnotic transformations without ever once losing its cool. It has all the hallmarks of the classic DFA sound at its most assured: layered percussion, Eric Broucek's additional guitar and drums adding texture and muscle, and that indefinable quality of a track that feels as though it has always existed and always should. Raw, elastic, and completely committed, it is the kind of music that sounds equally at home in a darkened club at 2am or in your living room at full volume on a Sunday afternoon.
This repress, newly cut at 45rpm by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service, is the definitive way to own one of LCD Soundsystem's most essential and longest unavailable singles.
