Description:
In 2001, the first fruits of what would become the new electronic-rock movement began to fall. Liverpool, England act LADYTRON’s debut album 604 was an integral part of that first strike. A pristine, analogue adventure of sound and substance, the album would go on to influence the genre itself, while the group quietly made a global impact both visually and stylistically.
Hits like ‘Playgirl’ and ‘Seventeen’ (from their 2002 follow-up, Light & Magic) invoked the sonic storytelling of groups like Air, Stereolab, and My Bloody Valentine. ‘Witching Hour’ was Ladytron’s most sonically complex production to date, including the
intoxicating singles ‘Destroy Everything You Touch’, ‘International Dateline’ and ‘High Rise’. Sold-out tours of North America and Europe, and capacity crowds in China and Latin America ensued. Without any real label support, the band toured exhaustively over the next two years, performing for over 4,000 people in Bogota, Columbia—where their show was eventually shut down by local military—and opening for Nine Inch Nails in early 2007 at the request of Trent Reznor… only their second opening slot in seven years.
What transpired in the studio as a result of their confidence and freedom enhanced the vision they achieved on Witching Hour. Produced by Ladytron with assistance from Vicarious Bliss (Ed Banger Records) and Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails), Velocifero fully transcends the confi nes of electro-pop with a fresh wave of distorted soul. Mira and Helen—whose disparate vocal styles already provide considerable depth—have evolved both as musicians and songwriters, lending provocative harmonies to songs like ‘Runaway’ and ‘I’m Not Scared’. Rhythmically, there are moments reminiscent of their old favourites Os Mutantes and The Birthday Party.
Mixed by Michael Patterson (Beck, P.Diddy, BRMC), Velocifero cycles through a wide swathe of emotions. The band will tour Australia later in 2008, where audiences will have ample opportunity see for themselves how the group has redefi ned the genre they helped establish.
