Release Notes:
Released on August 29th 2005, the Liverpool based four piece are back with this
third album. Since "Light and Magic", they have been allowed to be themselves as
they have worked with Jim Abiss who has worked with Placebo and Kasabian. So as
you can imagine, itÆs going to be good, as both these bands are cool!
The album is synth-like but also has a pop sound to the record. I think this
album has a more wild side to it. The album is much more in depth than the last
two and I think its better! The atmosphere of this album is more electric and
dark at the same time. The new single "Sugar" sets the record off to a great
start, itÆs has a certain nursery rhyme theme to this song - its quite funny!
To me, I can gather a force in this record, itÆs quite powerful and has great
vocals and is very arty! This comes across in their music - they take their
music very seriously and the emotions throughout the songs are evident.
It also has the disco - reality sound! The songs are pop but at the same time
they sort of hit home - lyrically most of the tracks are about feelings, being
with someone, issues in daily life etc...
"International Dateline" is quite tearful too; the lyrics definitely touch a
nerve! There is an atmosphere to this song.
The collection of songs sum up Ladytron and their message about their music!
YouÆll have to listen to it to see how they have fulfilled themselves with this
record!
Ladytron are going to be performing at the Wireless Festival on the 30th June
along with the Leeds and Reading Festival on 26th and 27th August 2005.
