LADYTRON are set to release their fourth full-length album, VELOCIFERO, on June 3, 2008 through Nettwerk Music Group. The band will tour North America with dance punks Datarock, hitting 31 cities between May 20 and July 4.
Recorded in Paris, Velocifero was produced by Ladytron with additional production from Alessandro Cortini (Nine In Nails) and Vicarious Bliss of Ed Banger Records (Justice, DJ Mehdi, Busy P); the album was mixed by Michael Patterson (Beck, P. Diddy).
Velocifero is the follow up to the band’s 2005 release Witching Hour, which Ladytron toured the world behind for nearly two years, both as headliners and as support for such acts as Nine Inch Nails and the Chemical Brothers. Pitchfork called the album "the most urgent and immediate [album] of their career…it not only has a pulse, it has chilled blood in its veins." An infectious synth-pop record raging with unbridled energy, it featured the intoxicating single "Destroy Everything You Touch."
Ladytron–Helen Marnie, Mira Aroyo, Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu–is planning a worldwide tour for the rest of this year and into 2009; stay tuned for more information.
