Ladytron Ladytron

Electronic pop quartet Ladytron return with the release of their first new album in
seven years on Ladytron Music via !K7 Label Services. The eponymously titled
Ladytron follows the release in 2018 of two enthusiastically received singles, “The
Island” and “The Animals.” Distilling twenty years of experimentation into one
propulsive album, Ladytron again push the boundaries of electronic pop in
invigorating directions with thirteen songs that explore the disquiet of our times.
Loaded with their trademark analogue synths propelled by relentless rhythm,
Ladytron is a hypercharged album that radiates a visceral urgency.
Their sixth album is the band’s most definitive work to date, full of catchy hooks,
rousing riffs, sweeping melodies, and thick textured harmonies. Helen Marnie
says, “For us, it’s like getting together with an old friend. You’ve both changed, but
still have that common ground. Familiarity crossed with excitement.” “It’s diverse
and emotional,” Daniel Hunt adds. “It’s a lot heavier than our last album, Gravity
the Seducer, which was an intentionally more sedate, ethereal record. The album
also features guest Iggor Cavalera (Sepultura/Mixhell/Soulwax) on drums.
