Ladytron - Best of Ladytron 00-10

Review by Hayden Woolley

Other bands get swept up in a wave of hype before swiftly being carried back to obscurity, whereas Ladytron are like indie-objectivists, perpetually honing their craft with each new album regardless of popular context.»

the pioneers of the decade's revival of synth-based electro weigh up their 10 years of artistry against the current landscape. these tracks reflect the quartet's deftly executed (and delightfully subversive) dualities: primordial grooves vs. lushly layered synths; sanguine melodies vs. shimmering atmospherics; and art-house detachment vs. the poignant narratives delivered by dueling sirens marnie and aroyo. ladytron has created a body of work that reveals a fresh creative arc - and, as time has told, served as a reference point for a current crop of artists such as lady gaga, goldfrapp, la roux and crystal castles.
