LCD Soundsystem announce first album ‘American Dream’ and world tour

LCD Soundsystem have announced their first album in seven years.

The American electronic rock band will release ‘ American Dream’ - the follow-up to 2010’s ‘ This Is Happening’ - on Sept 2.

The record from James Murphy’s band will include the album title track and ‘Call The Police’, plus new songs ‘ Emotional Haircut’, ‘Change Yr Mind’ and ‘Other Voices’.

The ‘All My Friends’ hitmakers have also announced tour dates including a show at Manchester’s The Warehouse Project on Sept 16 and 17.

They are set to perform at Glasgow’s iconic Barrowland Ballroom on Sept 19, before concluding the run at London’s Alexandra Palace on Sept 22.

The new album is as much a shock as it is a surprise for fans of the band as they disbanded after releasing ‘ This Is Happening’ in 2011.

On Apr 12, 2011, Murphy confirmed the release of their final show on DVD.

They also served up a documentary called ‘Shut Up’ and ‘ Play the Hits’, sharing the 47-year- old frontman’s final 48 hours on stage and before and after their last show at Madison Square Garden in New York on Apr 2, 2011.

The Alexandra Palace gig marks LCD Soundsystem’s first headline show in London after the group reformed in 2015, and follows numerous wildly successful festival appearances around the UK and abroad. — BANG Showbiz
