Ladytron

When they first appeared in 1999, Ladytron combined primitive analogue electronics, crystalline melodies, touches of dream pop, disco, and 1960s influences, and went on to conjure distinctly different moods on each album, spanning the hook-laden simplicity of 2001's 604 to the darker feel of 2005's landmark Witching Hour to 2011's meditative Gravity the Seducer. They bridged the gap between synth’s original '80s heyday and its renaissance in the 2010s. Following their critically acclaimed debut 604, their Los Angeles recorded follow up, Light & Magic, a darker, more streamlined set of songs including the single Seventeen was released in 2002. It reached number seven on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
