LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy has revealed that he is working on material for a new band.

As well as Murphy, the band consists of former Hockney Night members Scott Wells and Paul Sprangers, and drummer Pat Mahoney.

Speaking to BBC 6Music, Murphy described the band's sound as “classic rock” - but admitted they hadn't come up with a name yet.

“They have a lot of names that we argue back and forth about. I think they try to come up with the worst names possible just to wind me up,” he said.

The group expect to release new material in the “first half of next year” on Murphy's record label, DFA.
