Fresh from the delightful news that LCD Soundsystem are one of the huge bands headed here for Splendour In The Grass, our excitement levels are in overdrive now with the news that LCD Soundsystem debuted three new tracks at their show in Brooklyn last night.
As NME reports, during their first shows of 2017 at part of a five-night residency at New York venue Brooklyn Steel, LCD Soundsystem played a setlist full of hits before debuting three news songs as part of the first encore of the evening. The three new tracks, titled ‘Tonight’, ‘Call Police’, and ‘American Dream’ were played to the 1,800 capacity venue, with fans quickly taking to social media to discuss it.
Despite the new tracks, there is currently no available footage of them, namely due to a poster posted inside the venue by the band. “Hi there guys! Welcome! We have a special plea. Please don’t film the old songs,” the poster began. “We already made a whole movie out of those and you’re not gonna find a ‘better angle’ with your iPhone than Spike Jonze found with his camera.”
“Please don’t film any new songs. It’s be a real gutpunch to all the people who have been working insanely hard for the last 18 months to release this music in the way we want to release it,” it continued before adding “We’re really excited to play for you tonight. Be with us. Lots of love from LCD.”
So while we’re currently without footage of the new tracks, we can certainly hope that these tracks will not only be on LCD Soundsystem’s new record, but will also hopefully make an appearance in the band’s set when they make their way to Australia in July.
