New York City (2001 – 2011)

LCD Soundsystem was the musical project of producer James Murphy, co-founder of New York City label DFA Records. Formed in 2001, the music of LCD Soundsystem can also be described as a mix of and , along with elements of and other styles.

During the band’s final years, Murphy was accompanied by Al Doyle (guitar, percussion — also of Hot Chip), Tyler Pope (!!! / Out Hud) (bass), Nancy Whang (keyboards) and Pat Mahoney (drums). Members that played live with Murphy under the LCD Soundsystem name before this time include Phil Mossman (guitar, percussion) and Phil Skarich (bass).

LCD Soundsystem gained attention with its first single, “Losing My Edge”. The song, which sounds like the boastings of a music geek put to an electronic beat, received acclaim in 2002. Murphy released a double album simply titled LCD Soundsystem in February of 2005 to critical acclaim. The first disk of the album contains new music and the second contains re-releases of songs previously released as singles. The opening track “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House” entered the Top 40 in March 2005.

On December 8, 2005 the group received nominations for two Grammys in the category for their self-titled album and in the Dance category for “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House”. This album was also chosen as one of Amazon.com’s Top 100 Editor’s Picks of 2005.

In March 2007, the band released their second album entitled Sound of Silver. The album has spawned four singles including “North American Scum”, “All My Friends”, “Someone Great” and “Time to Get Away”. Sound Of Silver saw a move towards a more traditional song writing approach whilst still maintaining the production values of their eponymous debut effort.

    If you love these, you'll love The Rapture. Luke Jenner of The Rapture talks about taking your time with music and giving it the attention it needs to create something beautiful. Watch the second half to hear more about their newest album 'In The Grace Of Your Love'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWKFHSNWAEo&feature=youtu.be
