The pioneers of the decade's revival of synth-based electro
weigh up their ten years of artistry against the current
landscape.
The narrative of the past decade of electronic music would not
be complete without a chapter on LADYTRON - although the
Liverpool-born quartet's global fanbase would argue that the
band wrote the book on it.
Consistently placing songcraft and innovation over any confining
aesthetic, the foursome of Daniel Hunt, Reuben Wu, Helen Marnie
and Mira Aroyo fashioned four albums of deliriously buzzing,
whip-smart electro-pop that have kept them ahead of the curve,
apart from the fads and in a league of their own. "We've never
fit into one scene, never adhered to one set of rules and never
wanted to create anything that was already accepted or in the
mainstream", says Wu now, reflecting on a decade highlighted by
principal releases "604" (2001), "Light & Magic" (2002),
"Witching Hour" (2005) and "Velocifero" (2008). Those albums,
surveyed on the career-spanning "Best of Ladytron: 2000-2010",
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 have 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.
