LCD Soundsystem’s Pat Mahoney and DFA Records musician Dennis McNany (aka Jee Day) – have shared a new track.Called ‘Cluttered World’, the song – which is released though Skint Records – is described as something that “takes you by the hand and leads you down, down into a subterranean basement, all thick air and close heat”.The description continued: “It pulls up a stool somewhere between the grand piano and the quaking bassbins and sets you right in the heart of the action, an interstellar super-futuristic torch song playing out across the room.“It’s a wild and disorientating place, yet it’s one you’ll want to return to again and again each time the drum track stops.”Mixed by LCD Soundsystem founder and DFA co-founder James Murphy, you can
