One eight-year hiatus aside, Ladytron have been pretty reliable over the past 25 years for releasing collections of sleek-yet-gritty electronic music that’s elevated by their affection for old school analog tech and two elite frontwomen in Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo. The band has been busy with a long-overdue reissue series (Light & Magic and […]
Ladytron don’t do throwaways, so their release of a their first official single as a trio with the departure of Reuben Wu when 2023’s Time’s Arrow was released, almost certainly implies more activity in the near future. The smouldering “I Believe In You” may have arrived last week without any sort of comment, but there’s […]
In honour of Ladytron’s piecemeal tour in support of last year’s Time’s Arrow finally making it to Toronto tonight, here’s a look at their breakout single from 2001 debut 604 – if by “breakout”, I mea the first sone of theirs I heard and not any kind of actual chart/commercial success. “Playgirl” appeared as the […]
Gleaming synth-pop isn’t necessarily the first thing you associate with Christmas music, but Ladytron have elected to wrap up an eventful year – one that saw them release another excellent album in Time’s Arrow as well as lose a founding member in Reuben Wu – with a new holiday tune. They describe it as: Cut […]
Ladytron released their latest Time’s Arrow way back in January and have supported in throughout the year in short bursts – a few UK dates in March, a few US dates in May, a few European dates over the Summer, a few more US dates this month – while contending with issues large (founding member […]
Today is Ladytron day, with the band’s seventh album Time’s Arrow hitting stores and streaming, but amidst the rollout of the new record – including a second video for “Faces”, following “City Of Angels” in October, they found the time to add the clip for “International Dateline”, from 2005’s The Witching Hour, to their YouTube […]
When Ladytron wrapped their Light & Magic 20th anniversary reminiscences by tweeting, “The next message you get from us will be from the future. We promise”, they meant it quite literally. A couple weeks ago, they revealed their plans for their seventh album – Time’s Arrow will be out on January 20 of next year […]
Having begun their official Light & Magic 20th anniversary celebrations as an online-only affair last month with an unreleased video for the record’s title track, Ladytron have spent the past few weeks sharing more era rarities via various outlets, culminating in a Twitter listening party via Tim’s Twitter Listening Party this past Saturday, the record’s […]
Carrying on with their career-long tradition of not being remotely appreciated enough, Ladytron are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their second album Light & Magic, as sublime a piece of electro-pop as has been created this century… and hardly anyone is noticing. The official date of the anniversary is September 17, and leading up to […]
So just as a heads up – over the holidays I went into a fairly deep synthesizer rabbit hole, both the music and the gear. So that’ll probably be informing a fair bit of what I’m posting for the next bit. Hope that’s okay, don’t really care if it’s not. We’ll start with a random […]
