Returning to form
B Magazine, Chanun Poomsawai, Published on 31/03/2019
» It's hard to believe it's been nearly two decades since Ladytron unleashed its own version of electropop to the world. Hailing from Liverpool, the quartet of Helen Marnie, Mira Aroyo, Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu first introduced themselves with their 2001 debut 604, a solid 16-track collection heavily influenced by the likes of Kraftwerk, New Order and Depeche Mode.

As trite as that may sound, the trio's 2009 self-titled debut was a prime exercise in restraint and impactful minimalism -- a meek concoction of hypnotic basslines, stark drum machine and laconic, understated vocals that recall a furtive whisper in the dark. It's the kind of music made principally by introverts for introverts, but somehow, along the way, its indie-slash-R&B-slash-soul appeal attracted a far wider audience. The group went on to win the Mercury Prize the following year and suddenly found themselves struggling with a pop star status.
