About
In 2010, shortly after the release of LCD Soundsystem's fourth album, This Is Happening, Murphy announced that he was retiring the group the following year, and on April 11, 2011 they played their final show at New York's Madison Square Garden; the show was documented in the documentary film Shut Up and Play the Hits and on the album The Long Goodbye. (A live-in-the-studio set, The London Sessions, was released later in 2011.) In 2010, Murphy expanded into film scoring, writing the music for Noah Baumbach's film Greenberg, and he also scored Baumbach's 2015 release While We're Young, which featured Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys) in a key supporting role. Murphy also contributed his production skills to the Arcade Fire's 2013 album Reflektor as well as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Mosquito the same year; helped design a circular sound system called Despacio; formulated his own blend of espresso called House of Good; and created a "Hello Steve Reich Remix" of "Love Is Lost," a track from David Bowie's 2013 comeback album The Next Day. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
