The rumors about LCD Soundsystem reuniting next year may not be true, the group broke up in 2011 and put out their last studio album in 2010 walking away from the spotlight, but this new track from James Murphy is. .Apparently this song has been around for eight years but never properly recorded until this month. “Christmas Will Break Your Heart” is obviously not an upbeat track, but it’s nice to hear new music from LCD Soundsystem again even if it’s been eight years in the making. Read Murphy’s note on the song and listen below. Purchase the 7″ here.
so, there’s been this depressing christmas song i’d been singing to myself for the past 8 years, and every year i wouldn’t remember that i wanted to make it until december, which is just too late to actually record and release a christmas song… but this year, al doyle had a short break between hot chip tours where he could be in nyc, and pat and nancy were home, and tyler agreed to fly out from berlin for a few days, so we all recorded this together, reserved a pressing plant slot, and our friend bob weston was available to master it quickly—so that means, less than 2 weeks after we recorded it, there is actually a christmas 7″, which feels like something that could only have happened a very, very long time ago.
anyway, for the holidays we give you the previous, very long run-on sentence, and this song: “christmas will break your heart”, which is another one of those songs which had about 75 lines of lyrics, though we’ve knocked down to 8 to keep the suicide rate in check.
have fun!
