Ladytron
Buzzy glam rock fashion plates Ladytron came together in a jet-set miracle in mid-1998. Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu, who lurk in the background playing rhythm boxes and keyboards in the band, settled in Liverpool after a spate of DJ work in Japan and world travel, including a train trip in Bulgaria where they met vocalist Mira Aroyo. Helena Marnie, who also sings and plays keyboards for the group, also joined them and they began work on their first single, "He Took Her to a Movie," which was recorded for 50 pounds. The release brought a wave of critical attenti...[more]

VINYL FORMAT. This special Limited Edition vinyl release of Witching Hour features an eight track bonus LP of Witching Hour remixes and UK B-sides! Serenely beautiful at times and noisy and disturbing at others; like all the best records should be. These Electro-Clash pioneers return with their stunning new album! In pop folklore, bands were allowed three full-lengths to become themselves, yet the labeled third album is an increasing rarity in this low-attention span era. It comes as [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Finally available on vinyl! Ladytron fuses computer rock with the catchiest pop hooks, three decades of influence and sexy female vox. Take the streamlined new wave electro of The Human League and Kraftwerk, throw in some Gorgio Moroder basslines and perhaps some northern blue-eyed soul. Ladytron leaves the competition in the dust.

VINYL FORMAT. Velocifero fully transcends the confines of electro-pop with a fresh wave of distorted soul. Mira and Helen - whose disparate vocal styles already provide considerable depth -have evolved both as musicians and songwriters, lending provocative harmonies to songs like "Runaway" and "I'm Not Scared." While, rhythmically, there are moments reminiscent of their old favorites Os Mutantes and the Birthday Party Velocifero cycles through a wide swath of emotion, from sentient and bli [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. "On Light and Magic, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed 605, Ladytron do indeed bring on the special effects, adding denser arrangements, more complex melodies, and processed vocals to their brand of spooky, stylish synth pop. Like Chicks on Speed and Adult., Ladytron helped shape the sound of electroclash before the style even had a name, and, in turn, this album feels influenced by the music that followed once the style formalized. Tracks such as "Turn It On," "Fire," and "E [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. "On their debut full-length 604, Ladytron prove how apt their name is: their sound mixes evocative vintage synths and plaintive female vocals as it references over two decades' worth of electronica, new wave, and rock (including Roxy Music, whose "Ladytron" is the group's namesake). Like the Commodore Rock EP, 604 balances Ladytron's experimental and pop sides...[their] mix of retro songwriting and modern themes is their most interesting, and distinctive, aspect.
