Music Shopping List | LCD Soundsystem Returns With ‘American Dream’

In a quiet release week, LCD Soundsystem makes some noise with its highly anticipated comeback album, ‘American Dream.’

August is out and September is in! My, my, my, where has 2017 gone already? While August and September are two different months, in regards to new music, both begin similarly.  September 1 is by far the quietest release date of the bunch, before things heat up tremendously.  September 8 is one of the most stuffed dates of the year, FYI.  But September 1 is on hand, and the most notable release comes from LCD Soundsystem, who are “reunited, and it feels so good” for new album, American Dream.  Otherwise, The Script (Freedom Child) and Jake Bugg (Hearts that Strain) are the other ‘notable’ offerings during an extremely lite week.

1. LCD Soundsystem, American Dream 

Electronic band LCD Soundsystem returns with its first new album in seven years, American Dream. American Dream also represents the band’s first new studio album since disbanding.   It follows up their 2010 album, This is Happening.  Comprised of 10 songs, singles “Tonite,” “Call the Police,” and “American Dream” were issued prior to the release of the album.

2. The Script, Freedom Child

The Script returns with Freedom Child, their first new album in three years. Freedom Child follows up their 2014 effort, No Sound Without Silence.  Comprised of 14 songs, promo single “Rain” arrived far in advance of the album.

3. Jake Bugg, Hearts That Strain

British singer/songwriter Jake Bugg returns with his fourth studio album, Hearts That Strain.  Hearts that Strain follows his 2016 album, On My One. Comprised of 11 songs, promo single “How Soon the Dawn” was released in advance of the album.  Notably, Noah Cyrus guests on “Waiting.”
