With new single The Animals, their first new music in seven years, garnering critical acclaim, Liverpool’s synth shoe-gaze quartet will play three headlines shows in November – including a home town show in Liverpool.
Current single The Animals comes complete with a remix by electronic pioneer Vince Clarke, and a video clip filmed in the sprawling megalopolis of São Paulo. “The Animals was the first new song we had, and with it we went almost immediately into the studio with Jim Abbiss, who has worked with us previously on “Destroy [Everything You Touch]”…and the Witching Hour album,” says vocalist Helen Marnie “He’s the producer who has really understood us the most”
The new chapter for Ladytron follows a hiatus which saw half the group move across hemispheres, and all experiment with solo projects and new collaborations, after five albums and a succession of world tours over the previous ten-year period.
A second single will follow in the summer, followed in the autumn by a new album, both available for pre-order as limited deluxe editions via Pledge Music, which provides a great opportunity to produce their album independently and reconnect with their audience.
Tickets for Ladytron at the o2 Academy on November 3rd are on sale from the o2 Academy Box office on Hotham Street from 10am on Friday 13th April.
