Liverpool synth quartet Ladytron announce their highly anticipated seventh studio album Time's Arrow will be released on January 20, 2023 via Cooking Vinyl.
The first single from the album, "City of Angels," released on October 14, 2022, is their first new music released since 2019's critically acclaimed eponymous album. Over Ladytron's insistent analogue backing, the song inverts sensuous imagery into a vision of a near future collapse of cultural memory. "It's about forgetting," says Daniel Hunt, ."..how fragile it is," ."..not about one particular place or other, but a merging of them."
Beauty, disposability and fragility of the culture that surrounds us, and the exhilaration of freeing yourself from those structures these are themes Ladytron return to on Time's Arrow. Crystalline melodies enveloped in icy textures and rippling arpeggios, shoegaze, disco, and industrial sounds that combine in their signature electro pop style. The mood of Time's Arrow is strangely optimistic, freeing - utopian, even. Have they left dystopia behind? "We're already there," Helen Marnie points out.
