Like yesterday’s Decade of Difference artist TV on the Radio, LCD Soundsystem came out of the Brooklyn music scene. James Murphy had already played in two bands in the indie rock scene in the 90s before giving up what would have been a lucrative gig as a writer on the TV show Seinfeld to focus on music. He built his own studio and worked as an engineer and producer and met Tim Goldsworthy.
Together they released some critically praised singles in 2002 through 2004 before recording their first full length album in 2005. Building on their success the pairs’ DFA record label had many popular remixes and LCD Soundsystem was commissioned by Nike to record a lengthy composition intended as music for joggers, eventually released as the album 45:33.
