Ever since LCD Soundsystem decided to get back together after only a brief hiatus, the band has put much of their energy into playing live shows, whether it be headlining festivals or hosting residencies at various cities. There was the great comeback album American Dream in 2017 and the one-off single "New Body Rhumba" which was featured in Noah Baumbach's film White Noise in 2022. This week, the band was included in the extraordinary line-up for this year's Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona and the festival hinted that a new album from the group would be celebrated during their performance. While the fesitval has walked back that statement, LCD have shared a new song (that as of writing this article is only on their website) so let the rumors continue to swirl. "X-Ray Eyes" is a minimal track by LCD measures with a slinky disco beat acting as the backbone while splotchy flashes of synths help to flesh it out as Murphy whispers the song title over and over. This isn't the anthemic, raging tune most of us expect from the group so it's unclear if this is really the kick-off to a new album or just something for them to add to their set-list at their annual NYC residency this winter.
