With keyboard stabs, droll vocals, and a predictably-danceable drum machine beat, the song features a handful of LCD Soundsystem’s signature traits. James Murphy mutters in a half-sung voice that he has eyes that “can see inside” and can “see through your disguise” before whispering “X-ray eyes” in the chorus. Meanwhile, a flute-like synth dances around the track, and the song’s contrasting keyboard lines become more and more restless. Listen to “X-Ray Eyes” below at the 19:40 mark.

LCD Soundsystem haven’t released a new song since 2022’s “New Body Rhumba,” which arrived on the soundtrack to Noah Baumbach’s film White Noise. They have, however, been busy touring, playing last year’s RE:Set concert series and festivals like London’s All Points East, Las Vegas’ Life Is Beautiful Block Party, and Salt Lake City’s Kilby Block Party.
The band is about to begin their eight-show residency in Los Angeles, which kicks off at The Shrine on October 31st. Afterwards, they’ll return to New York City for another holiday residency at Knockdown Center in Queens, with Poolside, Gustaf, and Fcukers set to open.
