Product Description
Product Description
With their highly anticipated fifth studio album Gravity The Seducer set for release on September 12th, Ladytron herald its release with a new single Mirage. Mirage follows the release of White Elephant and as band member Mira Aroyo explains “scenes that are set up in Mirage return and reflect in later track ‘Melting Ice”. The UK-based quartet (Daniel Hunt, Reuben Wu, Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo created Gravity The Seducer to operate like a book, with tracks acting as chapters that hold the album together. The new album was recorded in the Kent countryside with co-producer Barny Barnicott (Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Editors) at the helm. For Gravity The Seducer, the band wanted a grander sound, incorporating more baroque elements.

It's been over a decade since Ladytron released their first album, so I was bracing myself for the possibility that by now they would be losing their originality. But I am pleased to say that I have been pleasantly surprised by "Gravity the Seducer". Even after all these years, Ladytron can still deliver the goods.
I regard this album as a step up from "Velocifero", their previous one. "Gravity the Seducer" is one of those remarkably catchy albums that I just find myself playing over and over. I would even go so far as to say that it is Ladytron's second best album after "Witching Hour". They remain consistent with their tried-and-tested formula of mesmerising electronics and seductive female vocals, but also manage to keep it sounding fresh.
If you like Ladytron at all, you will definitely like this album. And I would recommend Ladytron to anyone who appreciates intelligent, avant garde pop. As this album proves yet again, they are brilliant.

A complete change of tack from the heavier spikey sound of Velocifero. With it's gorgeous layered synths gravity is a beautiful ethereal journey.
Ladytron live up to their reputation here as a band who embrace the need to evolve rather than stick to a tried and trusted formula and fans won't be disappointed.

Haunting, melodic, eno style electronica and strangely reminiscent at times of black celebration/music from the masses era depeche mode. Every subsequent album I hear by ladytron I think its their best and this is no exception. 5 studio albums and not one bad un. I love the fact that each one is different from the rest. If your'e expecting destroy everything you touch, seventeen, evil or discotraxx then this isn't the album for you. Its more in line with say soft power and still thats nowhere close. Ace of Hz features on this and although it was released on their best of and even earlier on fifa, it fits in perfectly on this album and im so glad they decided to include it here. Highlights for me include mirage, white elephant and the amazing white gold and moon palace. This is album is Dark and haunting but very melodic and electronic too. Thumbs up again guys n gals. I'm happy.

This is the follow up to Light & Magic that I have been waiting for. Excellent as Witching Hour and Velicifero were, 604 and Light & Magic were my favourites. Read more
