Having recently put the finishing touches on the third LCD Soundsystem album, James Murphy has said that the record is likely to be the last under that name. Speaking to AU, Murphy said, " I think ‘three and out’ is good. Not to be weird about it, but I never wanted to be a professional musician, and I kind of think of that professionalism as not being good for music. I thrive on being a form of underdog and doing things in my own weird way. I like my life and I like my music, and I’ll keep making music in some form or another, but being a ‘rock band’ that’s on a major label and tours and makes albums on some sort of a cycle and makes videos, at a certain point I think it’ll be self-parody. So it just feels like a good time. Plus, how many people’s fourth records are good?!" The as yet untitled album is due for release on May 14th. The track list is as follows:

'Dance Yrself Clean'
'Drunk Girls'
'One Touch'
'All I Want'
'Change'
'Hit'
'Pow Pow'
'Somebody’s Calling Me'
'What You Need'
