In advance of their eagerly awaited new album, ‘Gravity The Seducer’, ElectroPop legends Ladytron are releasing a new single, ‘White Elephant’.
More chilled and reverb heavy than their recent offerings, ‘White Elephant’ is probably a good representation of the new album which the band promised was going to be “more ethereal and melodic, a touch more abstract in places”. Retaining the trademark Ladytron bombast mixed with introspection the new single makes me wonder how much of an influence Ladytron were to the Chillwavers of this world, certainly the new album will probably go down a storm with them, and with anyone else who likes their ElectroPop intelligent, thoughtful and melodic.

In case you missed it, here’s the video for Ladytron’s last single ‘Ace Of Hz’
The ‘Ace Of Hz’ single and Ladytron’s ‘The Best 00-10’ are out now.
It’s been around a while now, but ElectroPop overlords Ladytron’s ‘Ace Of Hz’ has finally got itself a video.
Taken from the quartet’s forthcoming ‘The Best Of 00-10’ album, which compiles most of Ladytron’s classic tunes, ‘Ace Of Hz’ is the single new recording on the release. If it’s any indication of how Ladytron’s next proper album will sound then you can count me in!
The ‘Ace Of Hz’ single is out now in the US and 14th March elsewhere else, ‘The Best 00-10’ is released 28th March.
‘Ace Of Hz’ seems almost old now, it broke ground a few months ago, but today sees the US release of the ElectroPop legends Ladytron’s single, the precursor to their new EP and Best Of album.
The single comes with a nice reMix package (including Tiësto of all people…) which features this nice Electro mix from Punks Jump Up. It’s a totally different beast to the original, a straight-up dancefloor track, maybe sacrificing some of the songs soul in the process. There’s a lot to like in the reMix though, the steel drums add a nice point of interest and it’s got a sweet overall groove. Still, it’s an awesome tune and if you require a kickin’ beat with your Ladytron this is head and shoulders above Tiësto’s lackluster effort (the man appears to have taken one of my favourite bands of all time and made them sound like every song he has done since 1999).

‘Ace Of Hz’ is out now in the US and 14th March elsewhere!
In yet another smart promotional move Alessandro Cortini A.K.A. SONOIO is giving away another album, this time chock full of reMixes.
The album, titled ‘Non’, is rocking some quite high profile names for a freebie including this reMix of ‘Houdini’ by Ladytron. Ladytron take SONOIO’s deep, analog, ElectroPop and turn it up to 11, piling on the vintage synths in a hypnotic and dreamlike way.

You can download (or order on CD for $5) ‘Non’ at SONOIO’s official website.
‘Ace Of Hz’ is the first brand new material from ElectroPop legends Ladytron in a while.
The track actually features on the soundtrack of Football game ‘FIFA ‘11’ from EA Games (and it’s not for the first time that Ladytron have been included in a FIFA game, ‘Runaway’ was part of the ‘FIFA ‘09’ soundtrack) and is a proper reminder of why the band’s forthcoming album is so eagerly awaited with a sound that is reminiscent of the early Ladytron albums mixed with the sophistication of songwriting from their later works.
Very cool track!
‘FIFA ‘11’ which features ‘Ace Of Hz’ on it’s soundtrack is out now.
A couple of days ago the supreme rulers of all things Indie-Electro, Ladytron, released the fourth and final instalment of their ‘Remixed & Rare’ series. Each release of the series focused on one of their four studio albums collecting reMixes from the single, B-sides and other gems.
Taking it’s tracks from 2007’s ‘Velocifero’ it’s mostly collected from the singles that accompanied the album with a couple of surprises thrown in. Take a listen to some of our favourites. The Toxic Avenger absolutely hammers home his dirty Electro-House banger version of ‘Ghosts’, Port-Royal turn in a Lo-Fi chilled take on ‘Tomorrow’ while Grey Ghost turns ‘Predict The Day’ into a smooth, vocoder driven, Dreamwave-esq synth odyssey.
