About this deal

They began by releasing a string of singles under DFA Records, which was co-founded by Murphy. [4] They gained attention with their first single, " Losing My Edge", which peaked at number 115 in the UK. [5] Described as "an eight-minute, laugh-out-loud funny dissection of cool over a dirty electronic beat"; [6] the single became an underground dance favorite. This was followed by the single " Give It Up", and in the following year, " Yeah" and " Movement". The latter two peaked at number 77 and number 52 in the UK, respectively.

LCD Soundsystem were a band fronted by singer/songwriter, producer and mastermind James Murphy and Sound Of Silver is by far their best album. It feels kind of weird describing them in the past tense, saying they were a band instead of are a band. It's also kind of a shame, since everything they did was pretty fantastic. But them putting out their absolute best and then breaking up is much preferable than them carrying on too long, releasing inconsistent albums and then creating uninspired drivel before finally fading into irrelevance and mediocrity. It's much better that they have such a fantastic discography. But to be honest, nothing can equal their 2007 magnum opus.FACT MAgazine: The A-Z of Record Store Day". Factmag.com. April 12, 2010.

Everything about it is just so on the money. From the fantastic songwriting, to the immaculate instrumentation, to the fantastic production, even falsetto-heavy vocals are great which I think is an aspect of James Murphy's music he's had to work on. But I'm just guessing there. Except for the lyrics, the vocals are the weakest aspect of the album but they're still so strong. The lyrics aren't really the main focus of the album, they aren't why you listen to the album or the band. I read that earlier instrumental compositions of some bits that featured on the release 45:33 were re-worked and the lyrics were added to bits of it to create proper songs. Everything about it is just right. I was surprised just how many musical ideas came together and how varied the instrumentation was, you have vocals, synthesizers, percussion, drums, piano, bass, programming, guitar, drums, keyboards, bass, violin and they all come together so brilliantly.

Retrieved August 28, 2021. Moving to “Time to Get Away” and “North American Scum,” the band up the tempo and return to a sound more akin to the debut album: bass-driven, percussive, and chanting vocal lines. “Scum” serves as an obvious single in the style of “Daft Punk” and “Losing My Edge,” self-deprecating explorations of indie culture with trademark witty lyricism and a catchy chorus.
