Ladytron
facts

 

Ladytron are an English electronic band from Liverpool, Merseyside, formed in 1999. The band consists of Helen Marnie (lead vocals, synthesizers), Mira Aroyo (vocals, synthesizers), Daniel Hunt (synthesizers, electric guitar, vocals) and Reuben Wu (synthesizers)...

 

Their name was taken from the song "Ladytron" by Roxy Music. According to Brian Eno, once a member of Roxy Music, Ladytron are "the best of English pop music"...

 

During the early years, they were sometimes labeled as electroclash, but they rejected this tag.

"We felt being compared to the day-glo trash-aesthetic of electroclash didn't make any sense. We were wise enough to know that being positioned by the press at the forefront of it, despite our protestations, would mean we bore the brunt of the backlash when it inevitably came. However, that happened anyway, and we survived." ...

 

Ladytron has a large cult following worldwide, and have toured extensively since the release of their second album, Light & Magic. Daniel Hunt, Mira Aroyo and Reuben Wu also play DJ sets in clubs and events around the world...

"Ace of Hz", which appears on the album Gravity The Seducer, was previously released as a single from the band's greatest hits compilation Best of 00&endash;10 and the music video was released on YouTube on February 27, 2011. "White Elephant" was officially released as the lead single from Gravity the Seducer on May 17, and its accompanying video was posted on YouTube in July...

According to band member Reuben Wu, "velocifero" literally means "bringer of speed", and is also the name of a classic retro-styled scooter. "Black Cat" and "Kletva" are both sung entirely in Bulgarian...

Gravity The Seducer was recorded in Kent's countryside and it was produced by the band and Barny Barnicott (Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Editors). Daniel Hunt said "Gravity the Seducer is more of a jump than the last album was, more ethereal and melodic, a touch more abstract in places than we've gone before, baroque 'n' roll"...
