Bleep

Eight years since their highly anticipated comeback album American Dream, LCD Soundsystem are gearing up for yet another glorious return, the first taste of which comes as ‘x-ray eyes’. It’s a kitschy bop, a frazzled dancefloor cut, a joyfully wonky slab of mutant disco, where amphibian synths jump all over the place, paired with a surprise ancient flute solo. The ‘extended trash can dub’ adds swirl and funky hand drums to the enduring rhythm; even a glockenspiel finds its way into the mix, and merges perfectly with the track’s upbeat zest.
