LISTEN TO IT #38: IF I SHOULD EVER LET YOU GO I'LL NEVER WANT TO KNOW WHY

Ladytron also have a new album out, and whether that means anything to you probably depends on yr opinion of icy synth-pop as a sub-genre.

I dig it, personally, though I'll be the first to admit that Ladytron do have their weaknesses – average lyrics and a tendency to follow a similar song template more often than they should. But it does make for a compelling, otherworldly soundscape that I find pretty mesmerizing, though I confess it's more compelling when they lean toward a heavier sound as they did on their last two albums.

The new one, Gravity The Seducer, sports a dreamier space-age sound, though less club-oriented than their older stuff. It's a bit hit and miss (see above weaknesses), but there's some good stuff there.

Like this.
