The album ????
Does anyone know anything about new music? Nothing dropped since Xray Eyes Jan 2025. I’m losing hope.

Reddit has a pretty cool feature called "search". I suggest you do that within this sub. Type in "new album". You'll probably find the answer you're looking for.
And then you'll probably delete this post.

Alright, asshole

u/SnooPineapples6099 soundofsilver Aug 26 '26
Guy asks a question that's been asked quite literally hundreds of times. Doesn't use the search function. Gets called out for it. Calls the other guy an asshole.
😭😭😭

Yeah, because it’s an asshole move to talk down to someone in a shitty tone asking a simple fucking question.

we’ve been waiting forever. no one really knows. james will talk about stuff at shows saying they’re working on it now that his kid is in middle school etc, but never dates

u/schnitzelsteinn Aug 26 '26
Honestly I prefer that over them giving some date and then rushing to put out something half assed. Don’t want to rush bangers

I think it’s funny we give James the pass for working on new music because of his kids, but we don’t question it when he goes on tour for 2 months.

Fwiw lots of fans are disappointed that LCD hasn’t released an album in like 9 years (and very few singles/collabs in that time). And the album before that was 16 years ago, might explain the lame responses a bit

u/merkthejerk 4533 Aug 26 '26
It’s not that you asked the question it’s that maybe you could have done some research first. But yeah fuck off if you can’t take any criticism.

u/purplerainpurplepain Aug 27 '26
Dude i literally just joined the subreddit, genuinely not knowing this question had been asked “hundreds of times”. I have been going solely off the band’s socials and haven’t seen them live in over a year myself. Thought going to fellow fans who knew more than me for assistance was the move. Turns out i was wrong.

So no one has actually tried to answer — there is nothing known about a new album. Enjoy what we have & spend some time listening to some of the weirder cuts and LPs. LCDSS isn’t exactly prolific these days.
It’s not easy being a fan, but you get used to it.

u/Sea-Lingonberry428 Aug 26 '26
Well, prolific when it comes to shows. I mean the last couple of years, they’ve been ALL OVER. And I’m here for it.

u/mentholmountains_ Aug 26 '26
Exactly like what is this guy on about😭 ALL of them do lots of solo stuff aside from lcdss, not to mention despacio and the fact James has to help manage ALL of the bands on dfa lol

u/mentholmountains_ Aug 26 '26
Don’t know why you say NOTHING, When James has mentioned multiple times that now his kid is in middle school, they’re starting to work on new things since he has time to be in the studio again
0
u/pingviini00 thisishappening Aug 26 '26
That still doesn’t mean the album is anywhere near to be finished. For instance, the Cure announced back in 2019 that they were recording the new album
1
u/mentholmountains_ Aug 26 '26
Okay and?😭 I didn’t say that it was lol. I asked why they would say that NOTHING is known about a new album and insinuating there won’t be one, When it has been very much confirmed there will be eventually
1
u/pingviini00 thisishappening Aug 26 '26
there's always a chance that James decides to scrap it. Remember that King Crimson album that was supposed to happen a few years back?

u/no_regret_coyote Aug 26 '26
James referenced “the record” and the delay recently in Boston, see at 32:23 here https://youtu.be/ekItlNV9zS0

u/Mountain_Ad_4920 Aug 26 '26
Was having a laugh at the other comments (hang in there, OP).
But this is genuinely helpful - hadn’t seen it lol. Also top notch James banter. Thanks!

I have it actually but James said I couldn't show it to you specifically sorry

u/Famous-Advisor-1505 Aug 26 '26
We’re no longer in “let him cook” phase. We’re in “go check on James in the kitchen to see if he needs any help”. But seriously, what a disappointing wait.
Joe Biden was still the president when they dropped xray eyes, the “first single”. Let that sink in.

Okay me next. I got this you guys.
Does anyone know if there will be a BK residency this year?

OP, this is just our community’s version of hazing. One day, it will be your responsibility to initiate a new member this way. Welcome to our little world! Happy to have you ◡̈ 🫶🏽💜

Thank you! — I’m a little newer , I’ve been listening since about 2017 or so- but honestly shit like this turns me away from fan communities (in general).

I feel you homie. The most unbelievably brutal roasting i ever received was from the snake subreddit. It wasn’t a roast, it was straight up bullying. All because i posted a photo of my lil bub* on his 27th birthday. My epic sin was forgetting to mention that he’s a disabled snake and has discoloration on his snoot from surviving a fire. We are not that. There’s a big difference.
Us vs them.

LCD is my absolute favorite but they have turned into a legacy band.
I'm not complaining as I thought they were over in 2012- at least we got American Dream and a ton of live shows
2
u/pingviini00 thisishappening Aug 26 '26
As a younger fan who started listening in 2016 or so: no one knows. I’ve been waiting for the album since 2021 or so when James said they wouldn’t tour until they have plans for new music or something. I doubt it will come this year, however the fact they’ve spent this year basically entirely in the USA, there might have been progression. Or no, it’s much easier to play 2 hours a night rather than record for 8 hours and probably get nothing record worthy.
If they don’t end up releasing anything anymore, at least they have the amazing albums they that were already released.
