LCD Soundsystem is an American rock band formed in 2002 in Brooklyn, New York, by James Murphy. It comprises Murphy (vocals, various instruments), Nancy Whang (synthesizer, keyboards, vocals), Pat Mahoney (drums), Tyler Pope (bass, guitar, synthesizer), Al Doyle (guitar, synthesizer, percussion), and Korey Richey (synthesizer, piano, percussion). Since 2024, Nay Mapalo has filled in for Pope in live shows. They have been signed to Murphy's label DFA Records since their inception, and signed to Columbia Records in 2016.

LCD Soundsystem released their debut single, "Losing My Edge", in 2002, followed by their debut studio album in 2005. It received acclaim and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album. "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House", their most commercially successful single, received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording. In 2006, LCD Soundsystem released 45:33, conceived as workout music for Nike. In 2007, they released Sound of Silver to acclaim and another Grammy nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album.

In 2010, LCD Soundsystem released their fourth studio album, This Is Happening, their first top-ten album in the United States. LCD Soundsystem disbanded following a farewell concert at Madison Square Garden on April 2, 2011. It was released as the live album The Long Goodbye (2014) and chronicled in the documentary film Shut Up and Play the Hits. In 2015, they reunited, released the single "Christmas Will Break Your Heart" and embarked an expanded tour. Their fifth album, American Dream (2017), was their first US number-one album. It was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, and the single "Tonite" won for Best Dance Recording.

History

[edit]

Early singles and self-titled album (2002–2005)

[edit]
LCD Soundsystem in Madrid in 2005

LCD Soundsystem was founded by James Murphy, who began working as a producer in the 2000s and co-founded the record label DFA.[1] After producing the Rapture, Murphy was disappointed when they signed to Universal Records. Murphy had recently lost both his parents, split with his girlfriend and was sleeping in his office. He described it as a "lonely period ... But something really radical happened. It broke me free, in a way."[2] Mattie Safer of the Rapture said James did not prioritize his own music until the Rapture left DFA.[2]

The first LCD Soundsystem single, "Losing My Edge", was released in 2002.[3] Paul Lester described it as as "an eight-minute, laugh-out-loud funny dissection of cool over a dirty electronic beat".[4] Pitchfork wrote later that it set the parameters for future LCD Soundsystem songs: "dance vs. punk, sincerity vs. sarcasm, wordy self-analysis vs. surrendering to the rhythm".[3] It was followed further singles, including "Yeah" and "Tired".[5]

LCD Soundsystem released their first album, LCD Soundsystem, in January 2005. It received acclaim and was voted number 11 in that year's Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of hundreds of music critics.[5] "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House", which imagines Daft Punk performing at a house party, became their most successful single, reaching number 29 on the UK singles chart.[3] In December 2005, LCD Soundsystem was nominated for the Grammy awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album and Best Dance Recording ("Daft Punk Is Playing at My House)".[6] Initially, LCD Soundsystem records were written, performed, and recorded solely by Murphy, with Nancy Whang contributing backing vocals. He recruited members for live shows.[5] LCD Soundsystem toured with M.I.A.[5]

"45:33" and Sound of Silver (2006–2008)

[edit]

In October 2006, LCD Soundsystem released a 45-minute composition, "45:33", commissioned by Nike.[7] In a press release, Murphy said it was designed to accompany a running workout.[7] However, he later said he had lied and had instead wanted to make a long record in the style of E2-E4 (1984) by Manuel Göttsching.[8]

LCD Soundsystem in Turin, Italy, in 2007

LCD Soundsystem's third studio album, Sound of Silver, was released on March 20, 2007, to acclaim.[9] Praise included Mixmag awarding it the title Album of the Month, a 9.2 score from Pitchfork[10] and a 5-star review from The Guardian.[11] The album release was preceded by the single "North American Scum", which was released in February 2007.[12] LCD Soundsystem's subsequent single "All My Friends" included covers of the song by Franz Ferdinand and former Velvet Underground member John Cale.[13] The digital download "All My Friends" EP also includes a cover of the early Joy Division song "No Love Lost". In September 2007, the A Bunch of Stuff EP was released[14] and the band went on tour with Arcade Fire.[15] Late in 2007, the band released "Someone Great" as the third single from Sound of Silver and re-released "45:33" on CD and vinyl through DFA Records.[16] In December 2007, there was a release of a 12-inch record containing B-sides from European singles for the North American market, entitled Confuse the Marketplace.[17]

In December 2007, the band received a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album with Sound of Silver.[18] The album was also named the best album of 2007 by publications such as The Guardian,[19] Uncut[20] and Drowned in Sound.[21] The album was also nominated for the 2007 Shortlist Prize, where it lost out to The Reminder by Feist.[22] Time magazine named "All My Friends" one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at number 4. Writer Josh Tyrangiel praised the "magic" in the song, saying that the song's "straightforward repetition of the same guitar, keyboard and bass lines, combined with lyrics about life without regret, and life with all kinds of regrets pays off with a punch about what we lose as we get older."[23][24] The track was later named the second best song of the 2000s by Pitchfork.[25]

After finishing touring for Sound of Silver the band recorded and released a song entitled "Big Ideas" on the soundtrack of the film 21.[26] This song was ranked number 63 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.[27]

This Is Happening and breakup (2009–2011)

[edit]

On November 18, 2008, Al Doyle seemed to suggest in an interview with 6 Music that the band would soon be discontinued.[28] However, the following day both Doyle and Murphy quashed this rumor, with Murphy indicating a new LCD Soundsystem album was on the way.[29][30] Murphy began recording in the summer of 2009 in Los Angeles. Possible song titles mentioned at that time included "Why Do You Hate Music?" and "Love in LA".[31] For the 2009 Record Store Day the band released a cover of Suicide member Alan Vega's song "Bye Bye Bayou".[32]

LCD Soundsystem in Santiago, Chile, in 2011

On February 23, 2010, the LCD Soundsystem website announced that the album had been completed. The first single was set to be "Drunk Girls" and on March 25, a stream of the song was put on music site One Thirty BPM.[33] The title of the album and the cover were revealed on the DFA site on March 30.[34] The album, titled This Is Happening, was released in the UK on May 17, 2010, and in the U.S. on May 18, 2010. Prior to the release Murphy promised that it will be "definitely better than the other two".[35] Murphy said it would likely be the last LCD Soundsystem album.[36] The band performed two secret gigs in New York on April 9 and 12, 2010, at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and Webster Hall in New York City. Murphy made an impassioned plea with fans and industry attendees at the New York gig not to leak the album to the internet in advance of the May 17 release date.[37]

For the 2010 edition of Record Store Day, the band released 1000 copies of a single-sided 12" single of This Is Happening track "Pow Pow".[38] When speaking to The Quietus in August, Murphy insisted that LCD Soundsystem would continue to record music, stating: "We'll do some 12's and things like that. I just need to get away from it being a big thing".[39]

On February 8, 2011, LCD Soundsystem announced on its website that it would be playing its last show on April 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. When tickets went on pre-sale and sale, there were widespread problems with availability and online ordering. Following the immediate sale of all available tickets, LCD Soundsystem announced that they would be playing four warm-up shows at New York's Terminal 5. The setlists at those shows were nearly identical to the setlist of the final show at Madison Square Garden. The final song performed at the farewell show was "New York, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down". The show lasted almost four hours with appearances by Arcade Fire, Reggie Watts and others.[citation needed]

Reunion (2011–2014)

[edit]

LCD Soundsystem covered the Franz Ferdinand song "Live Alone" for their 2011 EP, Covers. The cover was also released as a single through the Domino Recording Company on April 11, 2011.[40] On April 12, Murphy confirmed the release of the final show on DVD, with a better quality than the stream offered by Pitchfork.[41][42] In addition, a documentary called Shut Up and Play the Hits, chronicling James Murphy during the 48 hours before, during, and after the final show, screened at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was later screened in select theaters. On March 5, 2013, LCD Soundsystem was named one of Rolling Stone's New Immortals—"currently active (or relatively recently defunct) artists who [they] think will stand the test of time."[43] On April 19, 2014, a live recording of the farewell show was released in a 5-box vinyl edition as The Long Goodbye: LCD Soundsystem Live at Madison Square Garden.

Reunion: American Dream and Electric Lady Sessions (2015–2019)

[edit]
LCD Soundsystem in 2016

On December 24, 2015, LCD Soundsystem released their first single in five years, "Christmas Will Break Your Heart".[44] On January 4, 2016, LCD Soundsystem confirmed they had reunited and would headline the 2016 Coachella Festival.[45][46] The following day, they confirmed they would release a new studio album.[47] Murphy said David Bowie had convinced them to reunite.[48]

On February 13, LCD Soundsystem signed with Columbia Records.[49][50] On March 23, it was announced that the band would also be headlining the 2016 Lollapalooza Festival.[51] The band performed two shows at Webster Hall in East Village, Manhattan on March 27 and 28, marking their first shows in almost five years. The event had a ticket distribution system in the form of a lottery.[52] During the rest of 2016, the band headlined the Outside Lands,[53] Primavera Sound,[54] Austin City Limits,[55] Bonnaroo, LouFest,[56] and Wayhome[57] festivals.

In August 2016, the band canceled tour dates for shows in Asia and Australia to complete work on the album.[58] Although plans were made to release the record in 2016, it was suggested that the release date would be moved into the following year, as the recording was predicted to take another few months.[59] LCD Soundsystem performed their first show of 2017 at the then-recently opened venue Brooklyn Steel on April 6. During their performance, they premiered three new songs titled "Tonite", "Call the Police", and "American Dream" during the first encore of their set.[60] A fourth new song, "Emotional Haircut", was performed during a later show at Brooklyn Steel.[61] On May 5, the band released "Call the Police" and "American Dream" together as a digital double A-side single.[62] Accompanying the single was a lengthy post on their Facebook page, which also included an update regarding the progress of their upcoming studio album.[63] The band performed the two songs during the May 6 episode of Saturday Night Live's 42nd season.[64]

LCD Soundsystem released their fifth album, American Dream, on September 1 through Columbia Records and DFA.[65] American Dream released to acclaim following the release of several singles. The album was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album and the song "Tonite" won Best Dance Recording at the 2018 Grammy Awards, earning the band their first Grammy win.[66]

LCD Soundsystem performing at All Points East, England, in 2018

The band performed three songs live at Electric Lady Studios as part of a Spotify Singles release, released on September 12, 2018, with the songs being "Tonite", "Home" (from This Is Happening), and a cover of the Chic song "I Want Your Love".[67] Later, on November 2, the band released a cover of the Heaven 17 song "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" and teased a full live album recorded at the same studio, titled Electric Lady Sessions.[68]

Holiday Special, concert residencies and collaborations (2020–2023)

[edit]

In July 2021, Murphy said LCD Soundsystem were on hiatus.[69] They played a 20-date residency at Brooklyn Steel from late November to late December 2021.[70] The synthesizer player Gavilán Rayna Russom left LCD Soundsystem to work on other projects.[71] The band added two synthesizer players for the residency: Abby Echiverri and Nick Millhiser, the latter being a member of fellow DFA Records signees Holy Ghost!.[72] LCD Soundsystem canceled the final three dates and offered refunds due to an increase of COVID-19 Omicron variant cases in New York.[73]

On December 22, Amazon Music broadcast The LCD Soundsystem Holiday Special through their Twitch channel. The special was a one-off episode of a 1990s-style sitcom titled All My Friends, with comedians and actors portraying LCD Soundsystem members, including Eric Wareheim as Murphy, Macaulay Culkin as Mahoney and Christine Ko as Nancy Whang. The episode was interspersed with footage from a prerecorded live performance by the band.[74] Wareheim, the writer and director, said that he and Murphy had been developing the sitcom project for 15 years.[74] The special was produced during November and December 2021; the live performance was filmed in New York City with the sitcom episode filmed immediately afterward in Los Angeles, over a span of two days.[75] Wareheim and Murphy both expressed amazement at Amazon Music's willingness to air the episode.[74] LCD Soundsystem was the musical guest for the February 26, 2022, episode of Saturday Night Live's 47th season, hosted by John Mulaney.[76] They performed "Thrills" and "Yr City's a Sucker" from their debut album,[77] and appeared in a sketch as members of the Guardian Angels.[78]

In March 2022, Murphy posted an update to the band's Facebook, saying they would prioritize live shows without a new album for 2022.[79] Murphy, Whang, Mahoney, and Pope reunited with former member Phil Mossman as LCD Soundsystem at a DFA Records 20th anniversary show on March 26.[80] LCD Soundsystem began their 2022 run of concert residencies in March 2022 at Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, lasting four nights.[81] Through the rest of the year, they performed a four-night residency at the Roadrunner in Boston, Massachusetts,[82] a six-night residency at the O2 Academy in Brixton, London,[83] and an eight-night residency at the Fox Oakland Theatre and Warfield Theatre in the San Francisco Bay Area.[84] They played another 20-date residency at Brooklyn Steel in November and December 2022.[85] LCD Soundsystem contributed "New Body Rhumba" to the soundtrack for Noah Baumbach's 2022 film White Noise, and released it as a single on September 30, 2022.[86]

On January 31, 2023, AEG (Anschutz Entertainment Group) Presents announced that the band would be one of three headline acts at the inaugural Re:SET Concert Series.[87] In November and December, LCD Soundsystem embarked on the Tri Boro Tour, playing 12 shows in New York, comprising four shows each at Brooklyn Steel, Terminal 5 and Knockdown Center.[88] On October 18, 2023, the band Idles released the single "Dancer" with Murphy and Whang on backing vocals.[89]

On October 22, 2024, NTS Radio aired "X-Ray Eyes", LCD Soundsystem's first release since "New Body Rhumba".[90] In a November 1 press release, Murphy confirmed that LCD Soundsystem was recording a new album between concert dates and festival performances.[91] They played a 12-day residency at the Knockdown Center, New York, in November and December 2024,[92] followed by an eight-night residency at Brixton Academy, London, in June 2025.[93] That month, LCD Soundsystem released an edit of the This is Happening track "Home" by Tom Sharkett.[94] In 2026, they toured the US and Canada with the Brooklyn indie-pop band Victoryland.[95]

Style and legacy

[edit]

LCD Soundsystem has been described as part of the dance-punk revival,[96] as well as dance-rock,[97] electronic rock,[98] electronica,[99] art rock,[100] and alternative dance.[101] The music journalist Mark Beaumont said LCD Soundsystem combined electronic music with the "post-punk DIY aesthetic" of the Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, building connections between rock and electronic music throughout the 2000s as the Chemical Brothers and Primal Scream had in the 1990s in the UK.[2] He described their music as "spare but explosive dance punk" and a "fusion of the experimental, the cultured and the knowingly cynical".[2] In The New Yorker, Hua Hsu wrote that LCD Soundsystem "tinkered with dance music's maximalist tendencies, pairing huge, community-moving beats with introspective, almost twee lyrics", addressing themes of ageing, love, and letting go.[1] Pitchfork identified influences of Gang of Four in the guitars, Mark E. Smith in the vocals and Liquid Liquid in the basslines.[3]
