Label GB

LCD Soundsystem is the brainchild of James Murphy, a key figure in the NYC collective/label/production house DFA. The band has been active since 2001 and has gained a devoted following for their unique blend of electronic and indie rock music.

Over the years, LCD Soundsystem's live performances have featured talented musicians such as Patrick Mahoney, Nancy Whang, Tyler Pope, Gavilán Rayna Russom, Phillip Mossman, Al Doyle, Phillip Scaritch, J.D. Mark, Matthew Thornley, Andrew Raposo, Justin Chearno, and Gerhardt Fuchs.

With their energetic and infectious sound, LCD Soundsystem continues to captivate audiences worldwide with their dynamic live shows and critically acclaimed albums.

Death From Above (DFA) is a punk funk record label founded by James Murphy, Tim Goldsworthy, and Jonathan Galkin. The label's name was inspired by Murphy's nickname for his punishing tour PA set up while working as the live sound engineer for [a472959]. Since its establishment, DFA has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music.

DFA was born out of a passion for merging punk and funk genres, resulting in a unique sound that captivates listeners. With an impressive roster of talented artists, including LCD Soundsystem and many others, the label continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in music.

Known for their authoritative presence in the industry, DFA remains at the forefront of discovering new talent and releasing groundbreaking albums. Their commitment to quality and creativity has solidified their reputation as one of the most influential labels in contemporary music.

Compared to the first LCD Soundsystem album, Sound Of Silver is less silly, funnier, less messy, sleeker, less rowdy, more fun, less distanced, more touching. It is just as linked to James Murphy's record collection, with traces of post-punk, disco, Krautrock, and singer/songwriter schlubs, but the references are evidently harder to pin down; the number of names dropped in the reviews published before its release must triple the amount mentioned throughout "Losing My Edge."

There's even some confusion as to which version of David Bowie is lurking around. One clearly evident aspect of the album is that Murphy has streamlined his sound. All the jagged frays have been removed, replaced by a slightly tidier approach that is more direct and packs more punch. Murphy comes across as a fully naturalised producer of dance music - especially on "Get Innocuous!" - as opposed to a product of '90s indie rock who has made a convincing switch-up.
