The first actual preview, outside of blog postings and Facebook status, of LCD Soundsystem‘s much-anticipated, yet-to-be-titled third studio album have finally made their way onto the web. Fresh off a U.K. European tour announcement (find more dates below), James Murphy’s crew have posted a video featuring snippets of new music as well as images of that mansion where the band is apparently recording the album. Says Murphy: “I always have to live where I’m recording, and that’s full stop. To make an LCD record I have to live there.”

As for those new tour dates, LCD Soundsystem has since added a Europen leg worth of dates to follow a U.K. leg set for this May. Find all confirmed dates below.
