No solo Radiohead iban a alegrarnos las Navidades con una nueva canción, LCD Soundsystem también lo hicieron. James Murphy decidió reunir a su banda para grabar un tema navideño que llevaba rondando por su cabeza desde hacía 8 años.  Se trata de ‘Christmas Will Break Your Heart’, una deprimente y preciosa canción de la que Murphy dijo:

“So, there’s been this depressing Christmas song I'd been singing to myself for the past 8 years, and every year i wouldn’t remember that i wanted to make it until December, which is just too late to actually record and release a christmas song... but this year, Dl Doyle had a short break between Hot Chip tours where he could be in nyc, and pat and Nancy were home, and tyler agreed to fly out from Berlin for a few days, so we all recorded this together, reserved a pressing plant slot, and our friend bob weston was available to master it quickly—so that means, less than 2 weeks after we recorded it, there is actually a christmas 7", which feels like something that could only have happened a very, very long time ago.

Anyway, for the holidays we give you the previous, very long run-on sentence, and this song: “christmas will break your heart”, which is another one of those songs which had about 75 lines of lyrics, though we’ve knocked down to 8 to keep the suicide rate in check. Have fun!”

Tras la separación del grupo en 2011, pocos pensábamos que volveríamos a escuchar nuevo material de LCD Soundsystem, así que la sorpresa nos ha alegrado enormemente. ¿Significa esto que volverán a reunirse pese a que lo desmintieron? Seguramente no, pero oye, la esperanza es lo último que se pierde.
