"All My Friends" was the second single from Sound of Silver, LCD Soundsystem's second album, released on DFA on May 28, 2007, and it's the sound of a dance-punk band discovering it could break your heart. James Murphy wrote it with Pat Mahoney and Tyler Pope, sings it, and plays a pile of instruments on it himself: piano, guitar, bass, drums, synthesizer, percussion. DFA produced, and Murphy mixed it with David Sardy into a relentless, spiraling build that never lets up and never needs to.
It reached 41 in the UK, but the critics went all in. Pitchfork named it the best song of 2007 and later put it at number two of the whole decade, and Rolling Stone slotted it at 87 on its 2021 list of the greatest songs ever. The single's B-sides carried covers by Franz Ferdinand and John Cale.
