Ladytron UK Tour & Album News

• 17th Mar 2008

Ladytron are set to release their fourth full-length album, Velocifero, on June 2nd 2008 via the Nettwerk Music Group.

They will also play a number of shows in the UK and mainland Europe prior to the release of the album before heading off to North America for a 30+ date tour with new labelmates Datarock in support.

Recorded in Paris, Velocifero was produced by Ladytron with additional production from Vicarious Bliss of Ed Banger Records (Justice, DJ Mehdi, Busy P) and Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails). The album was mixed by Michael Patterson (Beck, P. Diddy).

Velocifero is the follow up to the band’s 2005 release Witching Hour, with which Ladytron toured the world for nearly two years, both as headliners and as support for acts such as Nine Inch Nails and the Chemical Brothers. An infectious synth-pop record raging with unbridled energy, it featured the intoxicating single Destroy Everything You Touch.
