lcd soundsystem
Founded in 2002 by downtown NYC music scene fixture and DFA label co-owner James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem has risen to international prominence as one of the most critically acclaimed live and recording acts currently in existence. The band released its self-titled debut album in 2005, which featured the underground classics “Losing My Edge” and “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House,” and received two Grammy nominations. Preceded by the 45:33 EP, the second LCD Soundsystem album Sound of Silver was named best album of 2007 by The Guardian, Uncut, the Independent and Les Inrockuptibles among others, and scored another Grammy nomination. The record featured the Uncut song of the year “North American Scum,” “Someone Great,” and “All My Friends”--which Time magazine ranked as #4 in its Best Songs of 2007 and Mojo named track of the year. In 2008, LCD Soundsystem contributed the track “Big Ideas” to the soundtrack of the hit movie 21. The band has since released the 45:33: The Remixes EP and a cover of Alan Vega’s “Bye Bye Bayou,” issued to commemorate Record Store Day 2009 and earning LCD its fifth NME single of the week. March 2010 will see the release of James Murphy’s original music for the feature film Greenberg, while finishing touches are currently being put on the third LCD Soundsystem record, due out later this year.
