The new LCD Soundsystem album will be "done soon"

LCD Soundsystem's forthcoming album is nearly finished, according to James Murphy (pictured).

The lead singer posted an event on Facebook, which prompted a fan to ask how the band's next record was coming along.

Murphy responded: "Still working on it, but it'll be done soon. Winter tends to mess with my voice, so finishing the thing drags out."

The album will be their first since 2010's 'This Is Happening', although they released 'The Long Goodbye: LCD Soundsystem Live At Madison Square Garden' in 2014.

Here's eight reasons why the LCD Soundsystem reformation matters.
