LCD Soundsystem broke up in a huge, premeditated, public way in 2010, and they got back together two years ago, ostensibly to make a new album. A couple of weeks after James Murphy wrote that the album was done, we finally have the details on American Dream, the follow-up to 2010’s This Is Happening, which is coming in September. American Dream features 10 songs, including “American Dream” and “Call The Police,” the two early tracks that the band shared last month.
It also includes “Emotional Haircut,” which might be the best LCD Soundsystem song title since “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House.” And with the new album coming out, LCD, already a busy touring outfit, have announced a whole new marathon of tour dates, including a North American trek that starts in fall. It’ll end with a third residency at New York’s Brooklyn Steel.
