Some bands age but Ladytron simply recalibrate. Their sound never grows old, and resurfaces each time feeling sharper and eerily current. Their new single and video, A Death in London, is a perfect example of that uncanny timelessness. It’s sensational in the way only Ladytron can be, sounding seductive, poised, and quietly menacing.
The track is part of their forthcoming full length Paradises, and it stands shoulder to shoulder with the band’s signature attractiveness. This time, they slip in an unexpected twist, an instrumental oddity shaped by the presence of saxophone. The result is a type of tension that feels intimate, hitting with suspense.
A Death in London is electronic gracefulness distilled. The track offers a journey built on shimmering synthesizers, a pulse that leans into danceable synthpop, and a sense of narrative dread that is always present. It’s Ladytron doing what they do best, evolving without ever ditching the crystalline world they’ve spent a lot of time perfecting.
Paradises will be released on March 20th, 2026 via Nettwerk.
