Ladytron

Label: Rykodisc
Genre: Electronic, Pop

If Ladytron had gone to my high school, they would have been those ultra-stylish new wavers who never went to class and never associated with the decidedly less-stylish new wavers like me. So, I should have written them off as some aloof, unironic Human League tribute band just to make myself feel better. But the fact is, they're more than that and even if they weren't, we're talking Dare-era Human League and, frankly, you could do a lot worse... If you can't tell, I'm fighting back a bit of a crush and not just on the ladies of Ladytron, Helen and Mira, but the whole lot of them. Their latest, Witching Hour, features a lot more guitar than ever before, which is a welcome expansion to their sound. That said, I will always be a sucker for their soaring synths as showcased on the monster single, "Destroy Everything You Touch." The video is nice, too. See what I'm saying, though? They're ice queens/kings, even they admit it.
