LCD Soundsystem might have a new album on the way, or at least that’s what it seemed like for a moment.
This week, they dropped their first track in two years called “X-Ray Eyes,” and they’re set to perform at Primavera Sound Barcelona 2025. The festival’s announcement had an intriguing snippet: All my friends. If this is truly a celebration, then let’s make LCD Soundsystem’s song All My Friends the official tune of Primavera Sound Barcelona 2025. Nearly two decades after gifting us this dance-rock tribute to friendship, James Murphy and his band are coming back with (surprise!) new music to show that they’re still as relevant as ever.
Many media outlets shared the buzz about a possible album drop. But when asked about following up on American Dream, LCD Soundsystem’s team kept quiet. Meanwhile, Primavera Sound clarified: James Murphy’s crew won’t be unveiling any new albums at the festival but will headline with their fresh track “X-Ray Eyes” alongside their legendary hits.
“X-Ray Eyes” made its debut on DJ Anu’s NTS Radio show Tuesday (tune in around 19:40), marking their first release since “New Body Rhumba” from the movie White Noise. Lately, they’ve been busy with residencies across cities like New York and London while also hitting various festivals. Their only major work since American Dream was the Electric Lady Sessions.
Fans sometimes feel like they’re on an emotional rollercoaster waiting for news from bands they love.
Primavera Sound Barcelona 2025 is shaping up to be epic with acts like Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Haim, and more sharing the stage with LCD Soundsystem!
