LCD Soundsystem have released a new song called “pulse (v. 1).” Listen below, and grab a free download from the band here. The track, which is nearly 14 minutes long, does not appear on the tracklist of the band’s forthcoming album American Dream, which arrives this Friday (September 1) via Columbia/DFA. In a note about the song on the band’s Facebook, Murphy describes its genesis and explains, “It’s a mix that we did a long time ago after the first session of the track, and it's grown on me as a track to listen to after the LP.” He also notes that it might eventually be released on a 12" single. Additionally, he acknowledges the song’s “wonky” sound: “You don't have to tell me that it sounds super fucked up. I know.” Read the full post here.

American Dream is LCD Soundsystem’s first record since 2010’s This Is Happening. It features the previously released single “tonite,” which has a corresponding music video and VR experience. The LP also includes “Call the Police” and “American Dream.” The band is currently on a world tour, which wraps up in December with another residency at Brooklyn Steel—check out the full dates here.
