LCD Soundsystem may have quashed rumours earlier this year that they'd be reuniting in 2016, but James Murphy's beloved dance rock project has got back together to deliver a Christmas gift to the fans. While certainly welcome, the caveat, here, is that it's a total bummer of a tune titled "Christmas Will Break Your Heart."
Though LCD Soundsystem performed their last show back in 2011, the band returned today (December 24) to deliver a long-gestating Christmas ballad. According to a Twitter message from Murphy, he's been hanging onto a "depressing Christmas song" for 8 years. This season, he managed to get band members Tyler Pope, Pat Mahoney, Nancy Whang and Al Doyle together to tackle the track.
It's a slow and saddened piece made for anyone experiencing a blue Christmas. You'll find it streaming below, where you'll also find Murphy's message in full. "Christmas Will Break Your Heart" can be purchased here.
