LCD Soundsystem’s former frontman James Murphy unveils he has covered a David Bowie song for an upcoming film soundtrack.
Murphy covered the tune ‘Golden Years’ from Bowie’s 1976 album Station to Station. The LP was a continuation of his soul and funk exploration on Young Americans, mixed synthesisers, electronic sounds and a lot of cocaine.
The song will be on the indie film soundtrack ‘While We’re Young’ starring Ben Stiller (Zoolander), Naomi Watts (King Kong), Noah Baumbach (Girls) and Amanda Seyfried (Big Love).
The film tells the story of a middle-aged couple (Stiller & Watts) stuck in a rut, that befriend a twentysomething hipster couple (Baumbach & Seyfried) that reinvigorate their lives.
The Beastie Boys’ Ad-Rock also appears, as well as our favourite nervous, twitchy nerd Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland).
The ‘While We’re Young’ soundtrack includes The Psychedelic Fur’s ‘The Ghost in You’, Foreigner’s ‘Waiting for a Girl Like You’ and Paul McCartney’s ‘Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five’.
TV On The Radio recently covered David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ for the Game Of Thrones season 5 trailer.
