LCD Soundsystem's Gift

2015-12-25 by ceart go leor im droim | 14 Comments
After a five year wait, James Murphy's dance-punk project LCD Soundsystem have made an unexpected holiday return.

Releasing the new track, "Christmas Will Break Your Heart" with no warning at all, they left a message for all those confused fans:

"so, there’s been this depressing christmas song i’d been singing to myself for the past 8 years, and every year i wouldn’t remember that i wanted to make it until december, which is just too late to actually record and release a christmas song... but this year, al doyle had a short break between hot chip tours where he could be in nyc, and pat and nancy were home, and tyler agreed to fly out from berlin for a few days, so we all recorded this together, reserved a pressing plant slot, and our friend bob weston was available to master it quickly—so that means, less than 2 weeks after we recorded it, there is actually a christmas 7", which feels like something that could only have happened a very, very long time ago.

anyway, for the holidays we give you the previous, very long run-on sentence, and this song: “christmas will break your heart”, which is another one of those songs which had about 75 lines of lyrics, though we’ve knocked down to 8 to keep the suicide rate in check.
have fun!"

There's been rumors for months of a reunion tour, not entirely shocked they released something.

As it stands now, the band plans to record and release more music in the near future.

okay
"It's not like some big, dramatic ending - we've talked about if in five years we'd want to play again, we'd do it."--James Murphy, 2010

but it was a big, dramatic ending
