Any news on the new Ladytron album btw?

Decent opinion.

I don't know if Future Islands are the best synthpop band but this album is one of the best synthpop albums. Fantastic stuff.

Depeche Mode
Ultravox
Fad Gadget

New Order hands down

And the correct response goes to....

Good thinking using an obscured photo of the band so you're not immediately recognized as the local Ladytron stan.

Weird choice for a lead single, sounds like an album track off of one of Marnie's solo albums..

idk who these guys are but cool band pic

Yazoo

youtube.com/watch?v=tLTGs4fqxBk

they're a cool band.
>According to Brian Eno, once a member of Roxy Music: "Ladytron are, for me, the best of English pop music. They're the kind of band that really only appears in England, with this funny mixture of eccentric art-school dicking around and dressing up, with a full awareness of what's happening everywhere musically, which is kind of knitted together and woven into something quite new."

these songs are so fucking good.

These fags on this board can't give you anything useful, they are just parroting what is 'fashionable' to like from the early days of 'synthpop', this oldfag was there at the beginning as a teenage.

Stereolab - Super Electric

youtube.com/watch?v=8WzHKo3uex8

You can have fun combing thier discography yourself, it's all part of the fun.

i know sterolab but let's face it, they're not even synthpop.

My boy Danniel still looks /fa/ as fuck.

>obscured
the lighting is slightly weird, that's it

Stereolab is one of my favorite bands, but they really are not synthpop

first 2 clips: wtf is that, son?
clip 3: art of noise: cool.

what about the gorgeous helen and mira?

I like Helen because she looks more "dark" which fits the aesthetics of the songs, plus she is as /fa/ as Danniel which makes me enjoy the music videos where they appear more.

Mira and Wu aren't really my type, they don't feel aesthetic enough.

mira's look is an acquired taste. she has an exotic aura.

All the information is in the post, if you have the wits to see it !

If you think for one minute Ladytron have not studied/practised and built upon these principles you have not taken anything useful away from thier songs and videos, in other words .. zombie fan.

stop being so fucking pretentious. do you think i'm impressed by some random sound collages, son? unlike that luigi russolo hack, ladytron have a strong understanding of proper songwriting, arrangements, melodies, harmonies, rhythm, production, and so on - exactly the things that make the music enjoyable. there's a reason brian eno is a fan of them: youtube.com/watch?v=RS0NGfXSz68
fyi ladytron are fans of artists such as
>Kraftwerk, My Bloody Valentine, Wire, The Human League, Stereolab, Throbbing Gristle, Serge Gainsbourg, Mantronix, ABBA, Leonard Cohen, Broadcast, Curve, Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin, Carpenters, Pulp, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Brian Eno, Lush, 1960s pop
that's patrician taste, yet not pretentious. it's a delicate balance.

all time: new order
current: black marble

Didn't even find out who he was, when he lived, what his manifesto contained or related that to synth music and how important his ideas were to art school synth bands .. nope .. muh feelin's is enough ... Good job, I only have 30 years in the music business, buying and selling vinyl, don't know nuffin, don't listen to anyone, cause I know it all.

waste of time, enjoy your niggnorance.

go on your own way, hipster. let normal people enjoy some good synthpop.
