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

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.

First track!

sounds kinda velocifero-y to me.

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

update: this is growing on me even more, it's easily the best thing anyone from ladytron has done in years

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.

Yes! I've been looking forward to this. Marnie's solo albums have both been very good, mind.

Slight adoption of the retro outrun synthwave vibe in there somewhere? Quite like this

yeah this is great

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.

― KevRus, Thursday, 7 February 2019 17:49 (five years ago) link
unsurprisingly, I love it, it's like velocifero but even angrier
the album art is also amazing

this is sounding really good
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Thursday, 7 February 2019 18:39 (five years ago) link
I keep thinking "oh this must be the big triumphant fuck-off closer" and then seeing there are more songs to go

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

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.

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
a solid 7.7 from p4k!
― KevRus, Friday, 15 February 2019 18:55 (five years ago) link
Omg this is wonderful! End to end bangers is right.

Late listening to the new one but why are they so good???? My god, we don't deserve Ladytron!
― Audrey Tautoulogy (Leee), Wednesday, 10 April 2019 20:43 (five years ago) link
OK maybe not "Paper Highways."

Saw them live the other day and they were excellent. Sound was really beefed up, might have been the venue maybe, but they were really powerful.
