Singer-songwriter-producer James Murphy and his
band LCD Soundsytem released their Self-Titled Debut LP
today 20 years ago on 24 January 2005
Pitchfork: “LCD makes substance from style, content from form, something from
nothing. That’s a rockist attitude, of course, but then LCD Soundsystem is a rockist
fantasy: full command of the history with none of the high-caloric obligation to
“meaning” or purity. Murphy even puts together a live show that out-pummels
the noise bands a borough over.
The worst I can say about LCD Soundsystem is that there are precious few
moments that stand up next to his most lauded singles. Plenty of good,
not-great stuff, and a tad unfocused.”
TUTV: An addictive mix of trippy house beats, synth-post-punk
glamour, danceable garage rock infusions and catchy psych-pop
thrills. If that doesn’t trigger you to put on your blue suede shoes
and make your best moves, nothing will. Partyyy time, folks!
