{"title":"LCD Soundsystem","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout LCD Soundsystem\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLCD Soundsystem formed in Brooklyn, New York in 2002 around James Murphy. Murphy co-founded DFA Records in 2001 with Tim Goldsworthy and Jonathan Galkin, providing the label home for the LCD Soundsystem catalog. The 2002 single Losing My Edge (with its Yeah Right pioneering aesthetic of self-aware DJ culture commentary) launched the project. Their self-titled debut LCD Soundsystem (2005) and follow-ups Sound of Silver (2007) and This Is Happening (2010) became defining documents of the 2000s indie rock and dance-punk crossover. The band dissolved in 2011 with a farewell concert at Madison Square Garden (documented in the Spike Jonze-produced film Shut Up and Play the Hits, 2012). They reformed in 2015 and released American Dream (2017), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 - making them one of the few rock bands to achieve a Billboard #1 debut in the streaming era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLCD Soundsystem's sound combines dance-punk, electronic dance music, dance rock, indie rock, post-punk, electronic, and synth-pop with Murphy's distinctive emotionally direct vocal delivery, dense layered electronic production, and arrangements drawing on Brian Eno, David Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, krautrock, and broader 1970s and 1980s electronic music traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLCD Soundsystem (2005, DFA\/Capitol)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound of Silver (2007, DFA\/Capitol)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45:33 (2007, DFA) - Nike+ commission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Is Happening (2010, DFA\/Virgin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Dream (2017, DFA\/Columbia) - Billboard #1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive performances 1, 2, 3 (2014-2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDFA Records pressings of the LCD Soundsystem catalog have been issued in multiple color variant editions and limited deluxe pressings.

Of the many arresting moments that fill LCD Soundsystem's This Is Happening, perhaps the most unexpected comes less than halfway through album opener \"Dance Yrself Clean.\" The seemingly unassuming, low-key rumble of a song morphs from its mumbled beginnings into an outsized flash of synth ballast and wailing vocals. The sudden shift is like the flicking on of a light, the perfect example of frontman-songwriter-mastermind James Murphy's effortless balance of restraint and release, organic rock and electro pop, and muted cool and vibrant emotion. This study in contrasts pervades LCD Soundsystem's third, and possibly final, release - an album where Murphy refracts images of heartbreak and longing through the scattered light of a disco ball. With This Is Happening, Murphy has created a work of both nuanced introspection and distanced observation. DFA is proud to offer the vinyl version of this much lauded release, which also includes contributions from drummer Pat Mahoney and sound collagist Gavin Russom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48541005840567,"sku":"210000027783","price":37.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/lcd-soundsystem-this-is-happening-2xlp.jpg?v=1781155049"},{"product_id":"lcd-soundsystem-american-dream-vinyl-140g","title":"American Dream 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts no secret James Murphy wears his influences on his sleeves, and this album is a love letter to Brian Eno, Krautrock, and New Wave.
