Among the artists releasing music today is LCD Soundsystem. James Murphy’s group releases a new song called ‘x-ray eyes’ on streaming platforms that had been released days ago through the NTS Radio platform.
‘x-ray eyes’ is a new signature groove marked by a synth-punk and lo-fi sound, that is, New York to the point. You’ll like this if you like the DFA label but also Anika’s 2010 debut.
LCD Soundsystem have confirmed that ‘x-ray eyes’ is the “first single from what looks like a new album.” However, he has denied that this album still exists, denying the information published by numerous media, based on a phrase published in the press release confirming Primavera Sound 2025. In that press release, Primavera reported that LCD Soundsystem would attend the festival with “new album” under his arm, without specifying how advanced the project is.
Primavera Sound’s initially published words were quickly reproduced by various media, such as the American Stereogum, and deleted shortly after the official note.
“No, there is no finished album yet” were the categorical words of James Murphy. The musician has clarified, however, that the album is progressing adequately: «When we are not giving concerts, the album will be closer and closer to being completed. This is the news. The rest is absurd speculation. LCD Soundsystem’s latest album, ‘American Dream’, is now 7 years old.
