LCD Soundsystem / This Is Happening

This Is Happening is the critically acclaimed third studio album by American electronic rock project LCD Soundsystem, released on May 17, 2010, by DFA Records, Virgin Records, and Parlophone. Masterminded by frontman James Murphy, the record was tracked in Los Angeles at a mansion in Laurel Canyon and serves as a masterful blend of dance-punk, alternative dance, and synth-pop. Initially intended to be the band's final studio album before a brief retirement, it remains a genre-defining staple of 2010s indie music.
