Ex bouncer and punk drummer James Murphy weaves punk and dance styles together into an in your face rocky electronica sound.
Murphy bought his first record, "Nick The Stripper," by the Birthday Party, at the Princeton Record Exchange.
Etched into the vinyl of "Yeah" is "Not as good as Losing My Edge" Murphy says he tries to "help people write...reviews."
"Never As Tired As When I' m Waking Up" makes use of the Beatles' Dear Prudence descending bassline.
Murphy is one half of DFA Records, which produced a slew of NYC dance hits in the ' 00s. Find all your favorite LCD Soundsystem ringtones and LCD Soundsystem realtones below.
