About Ladytron
Ladytron is a British electronic band formed in Liverpool in 1999, blending synth-pop, electronic, and darkwave elements into their sound. The group’s original lineup consists of Helen Marnie (vocals, synthesizers), Mira Aroyo (vocals, synthesizers), Daniel Hunt (synthesizers, guitars), and Reuben Wu (synthesizers, keyboards).
Their debut album, “604” (2001), marked their entry into the emerging electroclash scene, with hits like “Playgirl” introducing audiences to their mix of icy synthesizers and dreamy, yet dark, melodies. However, it was their sophomore album, “Light & Magic” (2002), that gained them broader acclaim, especially with the standout single “Seventeen”.
Their third album, “Witching Hour” (2005), represented a shift in their sound, incorporating more shoegaze and rock elements while still retaining their electronic roots. “Velocifero” (2008) followed, and offered a harder, industrial-inspired sound, while “Gravity the Seducer” (2011) took a more ethereal, atmospheric direction.
After a hiatus, Ladytron returned with their self-titled album “Ladytron” in 2019.Their latest project, “Time’s Arrow” (2023) is now followed by a remix album set to release in October 2024.
Here’s one of the tracks from the 2023 album.
