basic gist:
There's no way in hell that LCD Soundsystem are getting back together in 2016! Don't you have anything better to do in between Frank Ocean and Grimes releases than printing rumors from message boards?

Update – 4:00 p.m.: DFA Records, the label co-owned by Murphy, has issued a statement denying the band’s plans to reunite. Despite this, our sources stress the band intends to reunite next year, and we stand behind our original report.
Ha. Don't stop believing CoS.

it wd be v lame if it happened so soon

like the whole final show thing was remotely believable in the first place
― it's not a tuomas (benbbag), Friday, 9 October 2015 04:48 (eight years ago) link
also if it were happening it'd be p rude for DFA dude to be so insulting abt it!i'm sure it'll happen at SOME point but after only 4 years?
― Ina-Garten-Da-Vida (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 9 October 2015 05:02 (eight years ago) link
Murphy said at the time it was the end of them as a make-an-album, tour-the-album band, that he would probably do stuff under the name in the future, and released music as LCD Soundsystem the following year iirc.

It's the worst type of song they do. So dull.

Outside of New York how many songs like that have they done? Agree it is pretty dull

I mean it's hardly a highlight of the album but IMO way better than this one

yeah i like the token ballads on the albums.

Thanks for bumping this thread, because even though I don't care about the new song or any reunion, I'm listening to "Yeah" right now and it's just as great as I remembered.

One of my fave bands in recent memory, but why can't groups just stay broken up anymore? LCD took less time to reunite than many acts take between albums.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 31 December 2015 13:07 (eight years ago) link
It does cheapen the whole Madison Square Garden thing, which now looks more like a cash grab than the emotional ending it was constantly billed as. It will be interesting to see how Murphy justifies it all.
― Position Position, Thursday, 31 December 2015 13:13 (eight years ago) link
yeah this stinks tbh. if it's true which it might not be?
― piscesx, Thursday, 31 December 2015 13:30 (eight years ago) link
come on it's just one dude, every day he decides to jam on his keyboard at home, 'lcd soundsystem is back together'
― iatee, Thursday, 31 December 2015 13:44 (eight years ago) link
Nah, he reunited everyone for that single. This isn't NIN or GNR.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 31 December 2015 13:47 (eight years ago) link
well he's nice enough to use the same people but if 'reunited' without and given band member, nobody would care.
― iatee, Thursday, 31 December 2015 13:52 (eight years ago) link
it'll probably be ok if they treat it similarly to how NIN did 'we took a break from touring like we said we would after our big farewell shows and now we're going to continue making music from where we left off' etc but if there's no plans beyond the festival circuit cashgrab and that dull christmas song it'll come across pretty sad especially after only 5 years.
― ufo, Thursday, 31 December 2015 14:00 (eight years ago) link
err 'if he reunited'
― iatee, Thursday, 31 December 2015 14:04 (eight years ago) link
and 'without any given'

LCD could not successfully reunite Nancy or Pat

― probably.tasteful.forever (imago), Thursday, 31 December 2015 14:19 (eight years ago) link
anyway when they split he said they'd play & record again, but he didn't expect to make albums and tour the same songs for 18 months again
― glandular lansbury (sic), Thursday, 31 December 2015 14:19 (eight years ago) link
yeah it would be cool if they just became a studio band from here on out, I thought it was the touring that really wore Murphy out
― frogbs, Thursday, 31 December 2015 14:22 (eight years ago) link
There's no "if" about the reunion. They're playing a whole bunch of festivals and perhaps other dates in the US and Europe this Spring and Summer, starting with Coachella and running until at least July. Coachella isn't even the only one they're doing in Southern California.
Not that any statement was necessary given how obviously premature and therefore faux was the purported breakup, but anyone who thought it wouldn't happen (or who invested any sort of significance in that MSG show) missed Murphy telling you at the time that it probably would. When he decided he wanted to soundtrack the NYC subway and realized that he needed a lot of money to do it (and a lot of money he's getting), it became a no-brainer.

Not to suggest that there's nothing silly about investing any significance in a TNG Talking Heads knockoff with a more bearish, less bright frontman in the first place
