LCD Soundsystem is an American rock band hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 2002 by James Murphy, co-founder of DFA Records, the band is known for its unique blend of dance-punk, electronic rock, and indie sounds. The original lineup included Murphy on vocals and various instruments, Nancy Whang on synthesizer and keyboards, Pat Mahoney on drums, Tyler Pope on bass and guitar, Al Doyle on guitar and synthesizer, and other members who contributed to their distinct style¹. The band's journey began with the release of multiple singles from 2002 to 2004, with "Losing My Edge" becoming one of their signature tracks. Their self-titled debut studio album came out in 2005 and was met with critical acclaim, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album. The single "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House" became their most commercially successful hit¹. Following their initial success, LCD Soundsystem released "45:33" in 2006, a composition made for Nike's Original Run series. Their second studio album, "Sound of Silver," came out in 2007 and continued the trend of critical acclaim, securing another Grammy nomination. "This Is Happening," their third studio album, was released in 2010 and marked their first top-ten album in the United States¹. In 2011, the band announced a farewell concert at Madison Square Garden, signaling what seemed to be the end of LCD Soundsystem. The event was documented in the film "Shut Up and Play the Hits" and also released as a live album titled "The Long Goodbye." However, the band surprised fans with a reunion in 2015, releasing the single "Christmas Will Break Your Heart" and confirming an expanded tour. Their fourth studio album, "American Dream," was released in 2017, once again to critical acclaim¹. LCD Soundsystem's influence and innovative approach to music have cemented their place in the modern rock landscape, with a sound that continues to resonate with fans around the world.
