Ladytron — Velocifero

By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) June 3, 2008 2:44 pm

Although a little darker and denser, Velocifero continues where its Witching Hour predecessor left off. Much like that album, it's a mix of dreamy, ethereal mid-tempo songs ("Kletva," "Versus"), irresistibly infectious, obvious "Destroy Everything You Touch"-style singles, dance floor fillers ("Ghosts" and...

CSS Blow Ladytron Out Of The Building

By Leah Collins (CHARTattack) October 3, 2006 4:30 pm

Straight out of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Cansei De Ser Sexy (English translation: Tired Of Sexy, a name they attribute to a Beyonce quote) are easily the most fun you'll have at a Ladytron show. The five ladies and one gentleman of CSS are as equally brash as they are cutesy, and their music reflects it. On disc, their sound is garage-style electro-pop...

Ladytron Get With The Times

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) April 21, 2006 11:00 am

Ladytron are perhaps the most misunderstood band of this generation. Their debut, 604, is one of the few tolerable electroclash records, but the band never wanted to be identified by that label. Follow-up Light + Magic came out just as the hipsters turned on Peaches and Fischerspooner, and the band spent most of that year trying to deny they...

Ladytron — The Witching Hour

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) October 18, 2005 1:41 pm

Ladytron came before electroclash so they're not part of that terrible trend, but there's no doubt the stylish quartet were heavily affected by being labeled as such in most of their press. Since the whole repetitive synth-pop thing is dead regardless, Ladytron do an about-face on The Witching Hour, far and away their most ambitious LP, not to...

Ladytron — Light & Magic

By Darrin Keene (CHARTattack) September 17, 2002 4:50 pm

Like Miss Kittin and the Hacker, Ladytron were analog when analog wasn’t cool. With last year’s 604 album, the Liverpool-based quartet became poster children for the electro-pop revival. That said, they were working the minimalist blips and bleeps long before the scenesters crashed their party. Light & Magic is sure to be identified as yet...

Ladytron — 604

By Brian Pascual (CHARTattack) February 6, 2001 10:16 am

While it may be valid to champion Radiohead's latest effort as the record of the new millennium, some might say it doesn't sound like the future at all. And if anyone can make this claim, it is surely Ladytron. Everyone keeps talking about how this group looks (and sounds) the way we have always imagined what people would look (and sound) like in...

Song Of The Day: Ladytron's "Ambulances"

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) July 12, 2011 11:42 am

"Ambulances" is one of the tunes that'll appear on Ladytron's upcoming new Gravity The Seducer album. It's much more spacey than any of the tunes on 2008's Velocifero, and there's significantly less techno and dance influence than anything on that LP. It's almost ambient, actually. It makes riding in ambulances — or anything to do with them...

Ladytron

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) November 12, 2009 5:17 pm

The disc won't be out until spring 2010, though, since Ladytron have been working with Christina Aguilera on songs for her upcoming new album. "We've got some ideas...
