LCD Soundsystem‘s James Murphy says the band are indeed working on a new album, but it’s not done yet. This morning, the day after LCD’s first of eight LA shows, he posted a note on the band’s Facebook, noting that single “X-Ray Eyes” is officially out on streaming services, and giving a general update following the excitement/confusion that came with Primavera Sound’s 2025 lineup announce. Here it is in full:
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.

So there you have it. LCD gave “X-Ray Eyes” its live debut last night as well, and as he mentioned they’re selling limited edition 12″ at the shows. You can listen to the studio version below.
