A Coachella Alphabet: LCD Soundsystem

LCD Soundsystem

Name: LCD Soundsystem
Genre: Dance
Day: Saturday

Wikipedia sez: “LCD Soundsystem is the musical 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. LCD Soundsystem gained attention with its first single, “Losing My Edge.” Murphy later released a double album simply titled LCD Soundsystem in February of 2005 to critical acclaim.”

LCD Soundsystem are weird. Good, but weird. See first you got these standard radio-friendly dance beats pumping out which would not even be noteworthy except for the fact that they are being peformed live. Then you have the total randomness of lyrics coming out of James Murphy’s mouth, plus how they are delivered. They are nothing incredible, but some topics are just so incredibly random that you have to wonder how he came up with them. So far so good, but I’m not totally sold on LCD Soundsystem so they will have to be a wait and see, at least until the set times are announced.
