Meanwhile, he’s apologised to the begrudgers.

James Murphy has described how he sat down with Nancy Whang and Pat Mahoney and decided to revive LCD Soundsystem, and not just for Coachella either.

In a lengthy Facebook post this evening, the band’s founder explained how they are recording a new record and will tour extensively throughout 2016.

To anyone upset by the prospect of the band spoiling their legacy – so magnificently planted with a three-hour farewell show in Madison Square Garden in 2011 – Murphy has apologised.

But they’re back.

let’s just start this thing finally with some clarity.i write songs all the time. sometimes they’re just weird songs…
