Released September 1, 2017 on Columbia Records/DFA, AMERICAN DREAM entered the U.S. chart at #1 and has been nominated for two GRAMMY Awards--Best Alternative Album and Best Dance Recording (for the song "tonite")-and has generated a tide of year-end best of lists and accolades, including:

"James Murphy gathers his old gang of New York punk-funk virtuosos together for some truly festive paranoia... the music crackles with the joy of communal celebration"-ROLLING STONE #5 50 Best Albums of 2017

"Both tongue-in-cheek and confessional, finding new space for sincere reflection... American Dream proves some acts are better together."-TIME Top 10 Albums of 2017

"As fresh and vital as they'd ever been-not just older but wiser too, with a new strain of wit and tenderness thrumming beneath their strobelit dreams."-ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY #6 Best Albums of 2017

"Songs this good would've been enough to justify LCD's controversial resurrection. Yet Murphy imbues the new music with a weight that makes the convincing argument that he has a lot more to say, and that it won't be in the tone we might've expected."-STEREOGUM #9 50 Best Albums of 2017

"Still the most aware, and self-aware, artist in alt-rock... a perfect offering to the spirit of the Thin White Duke and evidence of Murphy's continued artistic vitality as a no-longer-young American."-BILLBOARD 50 Best Albums of 2017

"No one does disco neurosis like Murphy... Murphy's most intensely personal songs to date... burn with unusually candid intensity... a welcome return"-AV CLUB Best Albums of 2017

"The guy's mission is to make neurosis danceable, and Dream is mission achieved... funky, expansive and imbued with a strange sadness, frequently within the confines of the same six-minute track."-NEWSWEEK #7 17 Best Albums of 2017

"American Dream is a beautiful work of art about aging, regret and an arduous search for meaning, an expansive record that explores a variety of sounds and themes, but it never feels confused or lost."-PASTE #8 50 Best Albums of 2017

"Classic LCD: No one does rock'n'roll disco better... so worth the wait, and such a relief to hear."-PITCHFORK #12 50 Best Albums of 2017

"With an honest, powerful record like this, LCD only further cemented their spot as dance rock's best friend."-CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND Top 50 Albums of 2017

"A spectacular comeback that shatters even the most optimistic expectations."-POPMATTERS #5 60 Best Albums of 2017
