LCD Soundsystem will be reuniting at Coachella this year, but you can also look forward to their new album as they just found a label home for it.

According to Billboard, Columbia Records chairman Rob Stringer mentioned the deal during their Power 100 event on Friday. However, specifics about their deal haven't been made public yet.

In a recently penned letter, James Murphy wrote that they’ll be going on a reunion tour after their Coachella stop. The band is still putting the finishing touches on their album. “We’re releasing a record (sometime this year—still working on it, actually), so this isn’t a victory lap or anything, which wouldn’t be of much interest to us,” Murphy says. “This is just the bus full of substitute teachers back from their coffee break with new music and the same weird gear."

Rumors that LCD Soundsystem would be getting back together appeared online in December. When Coachella revealed their official line-up for this year, it confirmed LCD Soundsystem were the headliners along with Guns N’ Roses and Calvin Harris.
