After a busy year playing music festivals around the globe, LCD Soundsystem originally premiered x-ray eyes on NTS Radio DJ Anu’s Soup to Nuts show last month. Once LCD Soundsystem was revealed on the line-up for Primavera Sound 2025 last week, the festival confirmed that they’d be appearing with a new album in tow.
Now, James Murphy has offered a statement confirming that a new LCD Soundsystem album is in the works, which will serve as their first full-length release since 2017’s American Dream. Read his full statement below.
Murphy said “So there’s a new LCD song now called x-ray eyes. It’s the first single of what’s shaping up to be a new album. Don’t ask me when that is, because we’re still working on it. But it feels very good to be putting out new music. we made a small run of silkscreened 12”s that will sell at the upcoming LA and NYC shows, and DFA will have a limited grip of them, but don’t freak out if you don’t get one because there will be a more readily available commercial release of the same record when we can get it together. We just made a pile of white labels and are screening 100 at a time for each gig. It’s a short lead time thing and it’s fun. But, no, there’s no finished LP yet, but when we’re not playing shows, it’s getting closer and closer to completion, so that’s the news. Anything else you hear is bullshit speculation. Go vote.”
Their new song x-ray eyes serves as the first new LCD Soundystem song since 2022’s New Body Rhumba. The song and album confirmation arrives as LCD Soundsystem are in the midst of their Los Angeles residency, which they began on Thursday night. They’ll play seven more shows in LA until heading back to their native New York for another holiday residency, which kicks off on 21 November and runs until 15 December.
