After the confirmation that LCD System were reuniting and headlining at Coachella this year, James Murphy has gone on the record in the form of a blog post on LCD Soundsystem’s website, to say that more touring will follow, and so will new music.

In the post Murphy writes that “I write songs all the time. […] Early in 2015, I realized I had more [songs] than I’d ever had in my life. more of them than when i went in to make any LCD record, or when I recorded tapes upon tapes of terrible things in high school.”

He then goes on to explain “I asked Pat and Nancy to come over to my apartment for coffee and told them: “I’m going to record some music. should I make up a band name, or make a “James Murphy” record, or should it be LCD?” we all thought a good amount about it. […] At any rate, they both said “let’s make an LCD record.””

However Murphy admitted that he had encountered fans who “who feel betrayed by us coming back and playing.” Adressing these fans he said: “to you I have to say: I’m seriously sorry. the only thing we can do now is get back into the studio and finish this record, and make it as fucking good as we can possibly make it.”

This comeback album will be LCD Soundsytem’s fourth studio album. The band were originally formed in 2001, and split in 2011. Since then James Murphy has worked on other projects including opening his own wine bar, appeared on Arcade Fire’s Reflektor and made music with tennis data, which you can check out below:
