Video: LCD Soundsystem, “Bye Bye Bayou”


May 20, 2010


Suicide frontman Alan Vega originally recorded "Bye Bye Bayou" in 1980. In this video for LCD Soundsystem's cover, it looks like they traveled to that year, got a luded-out NYU film undergrad to shoot the video in Beta, brought it back to 2010 and ran it through a prism function on Final Cut. James Murphy looks cool positioned as a psychedelic ghost for this track (first released last October), though at times he looks like a psychic imprint itching to break through the screen like Michael Keaton's White Noise nightmare.
