Description

With each album, Ladytron take their sound in distinctly different directions, but the aloof, glamorous, slightly sinister and more than a little bittersweet heart of their music remains the same. The changes from 604's sweet synth pop to Light & Magic's dark electro-pop to Witching Hour's epic shoegaze didn't sound like dabbling, precisely because the band has such a strong grip on exactly what they want to express with their music. Ladytron haven't lost that grip on Velocifero; in fact, they may be holding on to it a little too strongly here. Massive and sparkling, as dark and glossy as black patent leather, the album is so sleek, so quintessentially Ladytron, that it almost feels like the band has their sound literally down to a science, fusing Light & Magic's hard-edged dance and Witching Hour's Wall of Sound into songs like "The Lovers," "Deep Blue," and "They Gave You a Name."

Comments about SBME/NETTWERK Ladytron - Velocifero:

...difficult third album. Three years after the previous album Ladytron yet shown a willingness to experiment, refine their repertoire. 'Velocifero' is proposed then as the work more complete and versatile of the group. Ladytron are colored dark but also rock, cultivate progressive ambitions. Ladytron have produced their most complete and varied album, revealing a spontaneous desire evolutionary, if not convince the detractors, it will increase their appeal against a devoted audience at times and sometimes curious. Their transformation into a darker sound and looked surprised and could also be a harbinger of new metamorphosis, for now we record the good performance without a miracle, 'Velocifero' is an album that deserves attention and respect, that playing back with pleasure and fun without ever being banal or excessive. Very nice cover, by the Brazilian artist Eli Sudbrack.
