I actually came to know about this band (which I mentioned in my interview) while listening to the soundrack of the game Little Big Planet 2. The song on the OST was "Ghosts" and I immediately fell in love with it. I like those happy songs with melancholy cadence and this was definitely one. So I obviously went looking for other songs about this band and found other tracks like that one, "Destroy Everything You Touch" for example. Their genre is experimental. Not really pop neither pure electronic. Just awesome sound in my opinion! Some songs are actually very dark and I was totally not surprised when I heard their record playing in goth clubs!
Ladytron are an English electronic band formed in Liverpool in 1999. The band consists of Helen Marnie (lead vocals, synthesizers), Mira Aroyo (vocals, synthesizers), Daniel Hunt (synthesizers, electric guitar, vocals) and Reuben Wu (synthesizers).
Their sound blends electropop with New Wave and shoegazing elements. Ladytron described their sound as "electronic pop". They focused on a balance between pop structures and experimental sounds. Some of the group's songs performed by Aroyo contain lyrics written in her native Bulgarian.
They have released five studio albums so far: 604 (2001), Light & Magic (2002), Witching Hour (2005),Velocifero (2008) and Gravity the Seducer (2011). The compilation Best of 00–10 was issued in 2011.
Ladytron have produced remixes for many artists, including David Gahan, Goldfrapp, Apoptygma Berzerk, Placebo, Blondie, Gang of Four, Christina Aguilera, Bloc Party, Kings of Convenience, Indochine, She Wants Revenge, Simian, Nine Inch Nails, SONOIO and Soulwax.
