LCD Soundsystem was the flagship group of the 2000s, a New York collective led by their guru James Murphy, promoter of this happy marriage between rock and electro. A group that has become cult thanks to their epic concerts. Those who saw them this summer, at the Nuits de Fourvière, at the Beauregard festival or at Rock en Seine still remember them! On stage, installed as in their studio, in the middle of cables and instruments, with James Murphy bent in his painter’s jacket, disheveled hair, clinging to his vintage microphone, all under a huge disco ball, LCD heated up the sound and the public without moderation.

Jump Into The Firea song by Harry Nilson by LCD Soundsytem who loves the exercise of the cover, one of the highlights of their show in the form of a steamroller between electric shocks and digital melancholy.
Since the release of their last album American Dream in 2017, more sound, more images or almost, than concerts to try to ward off the boredom that so easily overtakes the hyperactive James Murphy. Just a title composed for the soundtrack of the film White Noise de Noah Baumbach, New Body Rhumba in 2022.
So we were starting to make up our minds, counting our miles and breaking our PELs to go see LCD Soundsystem play in another time zone when, at the beginning of November, James Murphy dropped his little bomb on NTS Radio by not only revealing a new track but also announcing an album for 2025which shows that everything is not so bad in this world of brutes…
What does this new track from LCD Soundsystem sound like?
James Murphy doesn’t change a winning formula. X-Ray Eyes concentrates all the salt of LCD: psychedelic keyboards, nervous guitars, bells and flutes which go into a trance, bass connected to the solar plexus and the voice of James Murphy who repeats like a mantra “ I have eyes to see inside », the party is not over!
