Artist Biography
LCD Soundsystem is the musical side project of producer James Murphy, co-founder of dance-punk label DFA Records. The music of LCD Soundsystem can also be described as a mix of dance music and punk, along with elements of disco and other styles.
During live performances, Murphy is accompanied by Al Doyle (guitar, percussion -- also of Hot Chip), Phil Skarich (bass),Nancy Whang on the keyboard and Pat Mahoney on the drums. Previous members include Tyler Pope (!!!/Out Hud) on the bass, Phil Mossman on the guitar and percussion.
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 "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House" entered the UK Top 40 in March 2005.
