LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy to release own brand of coffee

If it’s good enough for David Lynch and The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess then why not James Murphy too? Yes, the LCD Soundsystem man is prepping his own signature coffee.

If this sounds familiar then it’s because Murphy first mentioned the project back in 2012, but only now is it finally coming into fruition. And it could be on its way shortly, as soon as Murphy finds the time to release it.

“It’s done. I just had some!” the musician told Rolling Stone. “I’ve been drinking it for a month now, and I’m super-psyched about it. I even made it in an Aeropress.”

He continued: “It’s a very neutral espresso with really intense elements. No filler, all really good single-origin beans. It’s lighter than a traditional Italian roast, but not as light as a Nordic espresso…The idea is that it should have a real complexity on the palate, like a single-origin does, but not be difficult on the finish. It should be very friendly.”

The only obstacle is that Murphy has been too busy to set a due date for the thing, also working on short films, music for subways and even designing his very own soundsystem.

“We’re heavily distracted and overbooked,” he explained. ” met up, I guess, a month ago, and we were like, ‘Yeah! All right! Let’s do it! Okay! I’ll talk to you soon! Later!’ And we haven’t really figured out how to pull the trigger.”

The product will be a collaboration with the Blue Bottle Coffee company.
