[News] James Murphy and Busy P Team Up for Levi's Store in Paris
In his post-LCD Soundsystem lifestyle, James Murphy has had no trouble finding projects to keep himself busy. His latest venture sees him teaming up with Ed Banger Records head honcho Busy P, aka Pedro Winter, for a collaborative celebration of the opening of a new Levi's store in the famed Champs Élysées district in Paris. The pair also designed custom, limited edition t-shirts and jackets to be sold at the store in its opening months, along with handpicked collections of albums that will serve as the soundtrack for the store. Next month, street artists Shepard Fairey and Mr. André will partake in a similar collaboration, which, like Busy P and Murphy, will showcase the union of American and French art and culture.
