Not a huge fan of Ladytron, I mean.

Helen Marnie is doing an online fundraiser for a solo album.
The perks get interesting around 300 GBP (or $487). I guess "worn by me" premiums are officially a thing now, and not just something Nataly Dawn does/did.

She could surely charge twice that if she promised not to launder. (._.)

Wow, she's a day in and already at 58% of the goal WITHOUT any of the big ticket stuff getting claimed yet.
For some reason I was thinking about this, and I realized that since she was in the water for presumably most of the shoot, the pool chemicals would probably override her natural, er, "essences", which would be reason enough to get it cleaned.

pretending that didn't happen
I think Reuben Wu is still wandering around doing photography, not sure if more Ladytron stuff is coming but I had a good morning listening to their albums
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 13 April 2016 23:15 (eight years ago) link
Electroclash seems to belong to this weird other-time in my mind. Like it was forgotten as a post-traumatic memory of 9/11.

Seventeen is still a great song.
― larry appleton, Thursday, 14 April 2016 04:37 (eight years ago) link
when i heard the song that riffs on the "are you being served" theme, i knew these were my people

I don't even really consider ladytron electroclash -- the stuff pre-witching hour might as well not exist to me
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Thursday, 14 April 2016 04:58 (eight years ago) link
Light & Magic isn't a bad album. Still sounds fresh today, with all the minimal wave, cold wave, druggy stuff going on lately. It's weird that after nearly 20 years, the 80s retro thing hasn't died out yet.
― larry appleton, Thursday, 14 April 2016 05:14 (eight years ago) link
604!
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 14 April 2016 13:42 (eight years ago) link
I really Ladytron but out of their five albums, I only really rate two of them. Witching Hour is close to being a perfect record and 604 is very strong, apart from those they're frustratingly patchy on record.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 14 April 2016 14:42 (eight years ago) link
Witching Hour is close to being a perfect record
put this album on 34 mins ago cos of this thread revival, not heard it in years - and even then i only listened to it a couple of times.it's the only album of ladytrons i have.will be playing it a lot more often from hereon.hits a lot of my sweet spots
― mark e, Thursday, 14 April 2016 14:48 (eight years ago) link
velocifero and gravity the seducer are also underrated
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Thursday, 14 April 2016 15:43 (eight years ago) link
I agree, I listened to Gravity The Seducer the other night and think there's plenty of good stuff on it... 'Moon Palace' probably one of my favourite Ladytron tracks! I like the first two albums, but it's hard to argue with the idea that they came into their own and started realising their potential on Witching Hour

We are proud to announce our first new music since 2011. Find out all about it, and how you can be involved. This will be an exciting year. Love, Ladytron XXXXhttps://t.co/DM2GT0ZImQ— Ladytron (@LadytronMusic) February 28, 2018

Yes! About fucking time ... what did people think of the two Marnie solo records that came out during the hiatus?
― Full of bile and Blue Nile denial (Turrican), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 16:48 (six years ago) link
I liked them, the first better than the second. that said, I can't listen to the record anymore -- I got a lot of angry email about what I thought was a positive review, and every time one of the songs comes up on shuffle I'm reminded of it and have to turn it off
― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Wednesday, 28 February 2018 17:00 (six years ago) link
Nice to have them back although, come on, this sounds exactly like Broadcast!
― daavid, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 18:19 (six years ago) link
Cool, I've missed them. And I didn't know about the solo albums so now I've got something to listen to while I wait for the new record to come out.
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 28 February 2018 19:21 (six years ago) link
First track!

sounds kinda velocifero-y to me.
― KevRus, Friday, 2 March 2018 21:03 (six years ago) link
Prefer the album teaser to the actual single, but am pretty stoked nonetheless
― Google Atheist (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 2 March 2018 21:59 (six years ago) link
ok thank god the album teaser had me worried, if I want to listen to Broadcast then I listen to Broadcast or any of the 100 bands that sound like them already
― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Saturday, 3 March 2018 00:32 (six years ago) link
update: this is growing on me even more, it's easily the best thing anyone from ladytron has done in years
― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Thursday, 8 March 2018 18:07 (six years ago) link
New single!

I still need to listen with proper speakers but so far it sounds great! It reminds me of Propaganda.
― daavid, Friday, 17 August 2018 12:51 (five years ago) link
Agreed, this sounds really good.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 17 August 2018 12:55 (five years ago) link
Yes! I've been looking forward to this. Marnie's solo albums have both been very good, mind.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Friday, 17 August 2018 13:12 (five years ago) link
Slight adoption of the retro outrun synthwave vibe in there somewhere? Quite like this

― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Wednesday, 29 August 2018 13:48 (five years ago) link
the new album is out, and it's...a trip.
the highs are high, the lows are low (sometimes very low), and the overall production is...uhh...weird.
but I'm kinda digging it. 'Deadzone,' 'You've Changed,' and 'Paper Highways' are pretty fun.
― KevRus, Saturday, 2 February 2019 06:46 (five years ago) link
The leaked tracks really didn’t impress. Still, I pledged to get the physical edition so looking forward to it. Love the cover art
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Saturday, 2 February 2019 07:44 (five years ago) link
ok I've warmed up to this a lot, and I now think it's actually pretty fantastic. Like 'Witching Hour,' this feels like a quintessentially 'winter' album, and I'm here for it.

unsurprisingly, I love it, it's like velocifero but even angrier
the album art is also amazing

end to end bangers
good record
― nxd, Monday, 11 February 2019 11:01 (five years ago) link
It's a grower. Some good hooks but is it me or is this record brick-walled to death? Pretty disappointing since the music often blurs into a flat mush.Song wise it feels like a slight throwback to the pre-Witching Hour period. This could have come out after Light & Magic
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 12 February 2019 09:09 (five years ago) link

this.I have tried several times to give this a whole listen through, but its just way too painful.hopefully its just the digital promo, and things are better on release, as this album sounds really bad.shame, there are some cracking songs hidden in there.
― mark e, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 09:44 (five years ago) link
I know "it's thematically appropriate" is a cop-out but in this case it is kind of thematically appropriate
fwiw the best track here is "deadzone," up there with "silent shout" in terms of songs that embody/address trauma
― theorizing your yells (katherine), Tuesday, 12 February 2019 15:48 (five years ago) link
