A 2016 tour fueled the buzz around American Dream in 2017, LCD Soundsystems first album in more than 5 years. American Dream showed up on many critics Top 10 lists, often at #1, and for good reason. This wasn't just a comeback for nostalgia's sake. This was a full blown return, with all creative juices flowing. American Dream captures both the classic electro-rock sound of James Murphy's earliest work under the LCD name, but an update of the sound for the 2010s. It also channelled Murphy's deep love for the New York new wave scene, with many tracks looking back in love and detached horror to the stuttering new wave funk of the Talking Heads, the unhinged experimentation of Suicide and the crisp disco sheen of Blondie. LCD are back and better than ever.
