Liverpudlian synthpopers Ladytron have a glorious return to form with their brand new track, ‘Black Cat’, the opener of the yet-to-be released fourth studio album, ‘Velocifero’ (full tracklisting on Wikipedia). The new record is produced by Ladytron with assistance from Ed Banger’s Vicaraous Bliss, Jim Abbiss of Arctic Monkeys production fame, and Alessandro Cortini (currently of seminal Industrial band Nine Inch Nails). The single ‘Black Cat’ carries a gothic synthpop sweetness with morose-toned Bulgarian verses from ‘tron’s Mira Aroyo.

The full-length ‘Velocifero’ has a street date of June 3rd and will be released on Nettwerk, the groups’ first for the label (Nettwerk was one of the first labels to abolish DRM and incredibly, paid legal defense for a teen downloader sued by the RIAA).
Ladytron always sounds better in bunches, so enjoy these—some we’ve posted before, some you’re likely to have heard before—all should be heard again. …These are remix collaborations with London new wavers Playgroup & Chicaco house heavyweight Felix Da Housecat, as well as Nine Inch Nails and Vicarious Bliss:
