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.
| | | guarantee they will be at coachella. thought that was practically confirmed already actually
| | | okay okay okay some festival dates and this new single are probably entirely okay but i dunno maybe i'm not that cool with this band full-on getting back together so HOPEFULLY that doesn't happen
ugh awful thing to say about one of my favourite bands of all time
| | | oh baby oh baby oh baby
| | | Enjoyed that.
| | | we need them back
| | | best christmas song ever
| | | the tears

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
