Choosing lyrical wit and musical innovation over stage theatrics, a reunited LCD Soundsystem showed the Coachella festival a more serious take to the booming electronic music scene. LCD Soundsystem, whose erudite compositions made them a 2000s critical favorite, broke up in 2011 with what seemed like clear finality, playing a "last show" at New York's Madison Square Garden that was turned into a documentary. Taking the stage late Friday to the sound of Ace Frehley singing, "I'm back in the New York groove," LCD Soundsystem powered through some of its hits but also showed its inventive bent.
