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 rereleases of songs previously released as singles. The opening track “PlayDaft Punk Is Playing At My House” entered the Top 40 in March 2005.

In March 2007, the band released their second album entitled Sound of Silver. The album has spawned four singles including “PlayNorth American Scum”, “PlayAll My Friends”, “PlaySomeone Great” and “PlayTime To Get Away”.
