Time's Arrow [Vinyl]

Beauty, disposability and fragility of the culture that surrounds us, and the exhilaration of freeing yourself from those structuresÉ these are the themes Ladytron returns to on TimeÕs Arrow, their seventh album. Driven by analogue synths, distorted chimes and hallucinogenic soundscapes, Ladytron crash-landed into electroclash at the turn of the century, using the dancefloor as a bridgehead to the collective unconscious. On TimeÕs Arrow the group add new richness, distant shimmers and a shoegaze-adjacent glow with Helen Marnie and Mira AroyoÕs trademark understated voices now inhabiting a space somewhere between cloudscape and dream.
