Ladytron Gravity The Seducer

Ladytron kept busy following the release of their acclaimed fourth album, 2008's Velocifero. They split their time between remixing, touring, and producing for other artists, such as Christina Aguilera . But it was revealed in March 2011 that they were readying a fifth record, Gravity The Seducer, that features production assistance from Barny Barnicott. He previously worked with Arctic Monkeys and Editors. As for the sound of the album, Ladytron's Daniel Hunt described it as “baroque 'n' roll,” according to Pitchfork. He also said that it's much more “ethereal and melodic” than their previous records.
