Song of the Day: Ladytron – White Elephant

Toronto – It took me awhile to get used to Ladytron‘s new album Gravity the Seducer – the slower, darker more methodically paced sound of the album was not what I was used to expect from the group. However, once I warmed up to it and started giving it a closer listen, I was still able to identify the parts of Ladytron I have come to love. The vocal interplay of Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo, the semi cold-often detached feel of their synthesizer hooks and just the general industrial/technological feel of their songs all part of the quintessential Ladytron experience.

“White Elephant” is the first single off the album and is a good illustration of the bands new direction, check it out.
