LCD Soundsystem will return with their hotly anticipated reunion album, American Dream, on September 1st. (Thanks, David Bowie!). Pre-sales for the record are live as of today, which means we’ve been given our first look at the LP’s cover art.
The image is pretty straightforward: a white hot sun in the center of a perfectly blue sky with the band’s name and album’s title plastered over it all in simple, black font. It’s definitely the band’s most colorful cover, yet somehow also the most unadorned. Check it out:
American Dream Artwork:
You can pre-order American Dream via a number of retailers here. LCD will be back out on their massive tour of multi-night stints in cities around the world next month. Many of the dates are already sold out, but you can find their complete schedule beneath the American Dream tracklist ahead.
Update: For those who can’t wait until September 1st, LCD Soundsystem is currently previewing American Dream at Lollapalooza via … a strategically located ice cream struck. As Stereogum’s own Ryan Leas reports, the sweet treat truck is apparently “previewing the album but in the form of ice cream jingles.” Follow the Twitter account below for more updates.
