The snarls of Bulgarian-born Mira Aroyo tease Helen Marnie's hushed vocals, while their Ladytron bandmates mess about on analog synthesizers. The band's dark, low-end synths and often pessimistic lyrics are shot through with undeniably coy pop structures (hi, "Seventeen"), building a dance party perfect for even the moodiest wallflowers. Their fourth full-length, Velocifero, is out this June, with help from the production teams behind heavyweights like NIN and Ed Banger. While Ladytron were at the forefront of electro with 2002's Witching Hour, they're joined tonight by the new guard, cheeky Norwegians (and labelmates) Datarock.
