My Take
James Murphy is, to me, one of the smartest minds in modern dance music. With LCD Soundsystem he did something genuinely difficult: he made you dance while quietly breaking your heart. From the knowing wink of Losing My Edge in 2002 to that acclaimed debut in 2005, he proved that irony and sincerity can share the same groove. A DJ, singer, and producer from suburban New Jersey, he turned middle-aged self-doubt into anthems. I keep coming back to him because few artists are this self-aware without ever becoming insufferable. A poet you can move to.
