Ice cold electronic disc pop from a band who now find themselves sounding as classic as Gary Numan, Human League, OMD and Pet Shop Boys.
'The iconic and influential electronic pop group Ladytron returns with a new
album 'Paradises' - their first since 2023's critically acclaimed 'Time's Arrow'
Spanning dance and indie movements since their formation in Liverpool at the end of
the last millennium, Ladytron have earned a unique position by carving out new sonic
and conceptual space, and refusing to abide by formula or trend. In the early 2000s,
the fiercely individual group were placed at the forefront of the so-called electro-clash
scene (which now enjoys another revival), but with time, they came to appreciate the
pop cultural moment that they had reluctantly become part of.
The new album follows a period of renewed cultural presence for the band. Their 2002
single "Seventeen" unexpectedly went viral on TikTok, introducing Ladytron's sound to
a new generation and amassing hundreds of thousands of fan- made clips. Their
legacy was further acknowledged recently with "Destroy Everything You Touch," one of
their most celebrated tracks, featured in the GRAMMY- nominated original Motion
Picture Soundtrack of cult movie Saltburn, reaffirming Ladytron's enduring appeal.
