Murphy recorded Sound of Silver, the follow-up to the massively acclaimed eponymous debut, over the summer of 2006 at an upstate New York farm with the help of the odd periodic visitor from the city (live band members Nancy Whang, Pat Mahoney, and Tyler Pope). The album became a massive hit, and launched LCD Soundsystem to being one of the biggest acts in indie rock and electronic music. Still an incredible, rewarding album, nearly 20 years on.

NEW VINYL LP ON DFA 2007

Far from the typical difficult sophomore release that some might have expected, Sound Of Silver takes the LCD Soundsystem we know and love and shows their rebirth as a great pop band. Here, repetitive percussion, towering walls of sound, driven melodies, lyrical hooks and occasional abstract and detailed string orchestration combine to create a sound like no other. From the crushing barrage of first single “North American Scum” to the lounge piano of epic closer and twisted love ode to his hometown “New York I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down” via the cascading harmonics of “Sound Of Silver” or “Someone Great,” this is the definitive sound of LCD Soundsystem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_Soundsystem
