Historical Songaday: Day 22 (Ladytron - Predict the Day)

DAY TWENTY-TWO: LADYTRON - PREDICT THE DAY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G8sC2qBGJE&feature=player_embedded
Okay, made the deadline. Barely. Anyway, Ladytron is a British electronica band who often incorporate elements of pop and synthpop. Five albums, of which I know Velocifero(album 4) most. Haven't heard the latest one at all, which is probably to be expected since it came out less than 2 weeks ago.
They're pretty special for a band of this strength in that they don't seem to have ANY member strife. From 1999, they seem to remain unchanged. Pretty uncommon, isn't it. They do a lot of remixing for other artists, and get featured in films, games, and ads from time to time. I know that *I* found them through the tv show Fringe(the song was Burning Up, off of Velocifero).
That should be a good amount of data.
They've actually released a set of remixes of each of their albums(except the latest) under the name of each album with the added phrase "(Remixed and Rare)". They're pretty good. I love it when bands do this, personally.

  1. Really worth listening to their whole discography. If you like Velocifero, don't miss esp. Ladytron's third album, Witching Hour.

  2. Sweet! I've listened to a bit of the rest of their discography, but hadn't given a good look at Witching Hour yet, so I'm definitely gonna check it out. Thanks!
