In April of 2011, a couple of months after announcing they were calling it quits, LCD Soundsystem played their final show at Madison Square Garden in New York. Frontman James Murphy had other projects to keep him busy, like running his label DFA Records, so this really seemed like the end of one of the most respected bands of the early 21st century. However, in late 2015 a new LCD Soundsystem single appeared, and the reunited band started playing shows again in 2016. A new album was also announced. That record is American Dream, and critics and fans alike are finding it to be the kind of thinking person's dance music that they need right about now.
