LCD Soundsystem have announced their new album. James Murphy and company will release new LP American Dream, their first since 2010’s This Is Happening, on September 1 via Columbia/DFA. As expected, it features both “Call the Police” and “American Dream,” the pair of tracks released in May and performed on “Saturday Night Live.” At the end of May, Murphy wrote on Facebook that “the lacquers are winging their way to the pressing plant” and that he’d been “wrangling the fastest route between final mix and record release.” He added that it would be the final LP recorded at the original DFA studios. The band have also announced a world tour including yet another residency at Brooklyn Steel this December. Check out the dates below, along with the LP tracklist.

This past weekend saw the band return to Brooklyn Steel for their second residency at the venue—the final show of the run is on June 24. Earlier this month, new reissues of several LCD Soundsystem albums were announced to be coming via Rhino. The band pushed back on the reissue series, saying they had “no idea” it was happening and urging fans to “just buy from DFA.”

LCD Soundsystem will headline Pitchfork Music Festival 2017 with A Tribe Called Quest and Solange. The festival takes place in Chicago’s Union Park from July 14–16.

LCD Soundsystem’s first new album in seven years, American Dream, is coming out on 9/1. The official pre-order for the album has launched and, and with it we get our first look at the artwork. It’s album art so bad that I had to reach out to PR yesterday to make sure it was real when it started circulating a little early. They didn’t get back, but considering this thing is plastered over every pre-order page and included in today’s official press release, it looks like it’s the real deal. Behold, the artwork for LCD Soundsystem’s fourth album.

In other news, the iTunes pre-order page reveals that the album is 68 minutes long, and if you head there you can see all the tracklist lengths. Closing song “Black Screen” lasts 12 minutes!

American Dream is out 9/1 via Columbia Records/DFA. Pre-order it here.
