“Ladytron”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Their sound blends electropop with new wave and shoegazing elements. Ladytron described their sound as "electronic pop".^[9] Some of the group's songs performed by Aroyo contain lyrics written in her native Bulgarian.

Their name was taken from the song "Ladytron" by Roxy Music.^[10] According to Brian Eno, once a member of Roxy Music: "Ladytron are, for me, the best of English pop music. They're the kind of band that really only appears in England, with this funny mixture of eccentric art-school dicking around and dressing up, with a full awareness of what's happening everywhere musically, which is kind of knitted together and woven into something quite new."^[11]

Ladytron have released six studio albums so far: 604 (2001), Light & Magic (2002), Witching Hour (2005), Velocifero (2008) and Gravity the Seducer (2011), and a self-titled album (2019). They also issued the live album Live at London Astoria 16.07.08 in 2009 and the compilation album Best of 00–10 in 2011.

They have produced remixes for many artists, including David Gahan, Erasure, Goldfrapp, Apoptygma Berzerk, Placebo, Blondie, Gang of Four, Christina Aguilera, Nine Inch Nails, Bloc Party, Kings of Convenience, and Indochine.

History

Early years

Liverpudlian producers and DJs Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu met in the 1990s. Hunt also founded the indie record label Invicta Hi-Fi and a nightclub.^[12] Wu trained in Industrial Design at Sheffield Hallam University and graduated in 1997.^[13] He became an industrial designer at Team Consulting Limited,^[13]^[14] until finally going full-time with the band around 2002.

Using the moniker Ladytron, Hunt and Wu recorded the debut single "He Took Her to a Movie" for £50 with the guest vocalist Lisa Eriksson (who later formed the band Techno Squirrels),^[15]^[16] The band name was inspired by the song "Ladytron" by Roxy Music. "He Took Her to a Movie" was released in July 1999^[17] and gained positive reviews.

In the summer of 1999, Hunt and Wu met the Scottish student Helen Marnie through various DJ gigs,^[18] and the Bulgarian student Mira Aroyo through a mutual friend.^[19] Marnie and Aroyo joined the band as vocalists and keyboardists. Helen Marnie studied music at the University of Liverpool where she received a Bachelor of Arts in pop music in 1999.^[20] Mira Aroyo was a postgraduate research geneticist in the Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford.^[21]

In December 1999, Ladytron issued the EP Miss Black and Her Friends in Japan only.^[17] It was followed in June 2000 by the EP Commodore Rock and in October 2000 by Mu-Tron EP.^[17] All the songs from these EPs, except "Miss Black" and "Olivetti Jerk", were later included on their debut studio album.

"He Took Her to a Movie",^[22] Mu-Tron EP,^[23] "The Way That I Found You",^[24] were all selected as NME "Single of the Week".

604 (2001–02)

On 6 February 2001, Ladytron released the debut album 604 on Emperor Norton (US). The album was also released on 26 March 2001 on Labels (Germany) and on 2 April 2001 on Invicta Hi-Fi (UK). It was re-released on 20 July 2004 on Emperor Norton (US) and on 14 January 2011 (Germany)/18 January 2011 (US)/24 January 2011 (UK) on Nettwerk.

The singles released from this album were "He Took Her to a Movie", "Playgirl", and "The Way That I Found You". The single "Playgirl" brought some national and international attention to the band.

Until 2004, the band wore uniforms on stage. Daniel Hunt stated in 2001 that their uniforms were inspired by the science fiction movie The Andromeda Strain.^[26] In an interview with Chaos Control magazine from 2002, Hunt also said that the meaning of 604 album title is the area code for British Columbia.

Music style

Their sound is usually described as electropop with new wave and shoegaze influences. The band described their sound as "electronic pop".^[9] Ladytron focused on a balance between pop structures and experimental sounds.

During the early years, Ladytron were labelled as electroclash by some music journalists, but they rejected this tag.^[18]^[61]

Reuben Wu said about the process of making a new Ladytron album: "We start writing individually. We've never really lived in the same city before. We've always been geographically apart. [...] It's always been first as individuals, and then reviewing everything together, and then working on each other's songs. That's how we've always worked. And it goes well with how we make music. We do get together down the line and in the studio when we start fleshing out the tracks".^[63]

There have been six main Ladytron tours: 604 tour (2001), Light & Magic tour (2002–2004), Witching Hour tour (2005–2007), Velocifero tour (2008–2009), Best of 00–10 tour (2011), and Gravity the Seducer tour (2011).
