About

Ladytron are a British electronic band formed in Liverpool in 1999. The group consists of Helen Marnie (lead vocals, synthesizers), Mira Aroyo (vocals, synthesizers), and Daniel Hunt (synthesizers, guitar, vocals). Reuben Wu (synthesizers) was a member from 1999 until 2023. They have released eight studio albums to date: 604 (2001), Light & Magic (2002), Witching Hour (2005), Velocifero (2008), Gravity the Seducer (2011), Ladytron (2019), Time's Arrow (2023) and Paradises (2026). They also issued the live album Live at London Astoria 16.07.08 in 2009, and the compilation album Best of 00–10 in 2011. They have produced remixes for a diverse list of artists, such as Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, Erasure, Goldfrapp, Apoptygma Berzerk, Placebo, Blondie, Gang of Four, Christina Aguilera, Nine Inch Nails, Bloc Party, Kings of Convenience and Soulwax.

The band's name was taken from the song "Ladytron" by Roxy Music. Former Roxy Music member Brian Eno said in 2009, "Ladytron are, for me, the best of English pop music. They're the kind of band that really only appears in England, with this funny mixture of eccentric art-school dicking around and dressing up, with a full awareness of what's happening everywhere musically, which is kind of knitted together and woven into something quite new." Ladytron described their sound as "electronic pop", while music journalists have also described their sound as synth-pop, electronic rock, among other genres. Some of the group's songs contain lyrics written by Aroyo in her native Bulgarian.

Ladytron est un groupe de musique électronique formé en 1999 à Liverpool, Royaume-Uni. Son nom fait référence à une chanson du groupe Roxy Music.

Il utilise beaucoup d'anciens synthétiseurs analogiques. Les paroles, souvent obscures, sont principalement constituées de bribes de la vie quotidienne. Elles sont parfois écrites en bulgare par Mira Aroyo, membre du groupe originaire de Bulgarie. En plus des synthétiseurs, le groupe utilise en concert une guitare, une basse et une batterie. Contrairement à beaucoup d'artistes électroniques, Ladytron tâche de ne pas se servir de samples sur scène, préférant jouer du synthétiseur en direct.

Les albums sont fondés sur un équilibre entre une structure pop et des sons électroniques analogiques, tendant parfois vers des sonorités plus expérimentales.

Le 14 mars 2023 Reuben Wu quitte le groupe pour se consacrer à sa carrière de photographe.
