Watch: James Murphy In The Comedy



A clip featuring James Murphy in the upcoming film 'The Comedy' has emerged online.

Apparently playing an 'aging hipster' the role finds James Murphy reflecting on ennui in a modern, urban environment. Given its debut at Sundance, Jajaguwar reports that the film "removes the safe, rosy filter off of contemporary culture to give the audience a look behind the curtain at the cost of American Utopianism and its unintentional byproduct of numbness and disconnect."

Which kinda sounds like an LCD Soundsystem track, if we're honest. Check out a clip from 'The Comedy' below...
