Liverpudlian synthpopers Ladytron have a glorious return to form with their brand new track, ‘Black Cat’, the opener of the yet-to-be released fourth studio album, ‘Velocifero’ (full tracklisting on Wikipedia). The new record is produced by Ladytron with assistance from Ed Banger’s Vicaraous Bliss, Jim Abbiss of Arctic Monkeys production fame, and Alessandro Cortini (currently of seminal Industrial band Nine Inch Nails). The single ‘Black Cat’ carries a gothic synthpop sweetness with morose-toned Bulgarian verses from ‘tron’s Mira Aroyo.

The full-length ‘Velocifero’ has a street date of June 3rd and will be released on Nettwerk, the groups’ first for the label (Nettwerk was one of the first labels to abolish DRM and incredibly, paid legal defense for a teen downloader sued by the RIAA).

Ladytron always sounds better in bunches, so enjoy these—some we’ve posted before, some you’re likely to have heard before—all should be heard again. …These are remix collaborations with London new wavers Playgroup & Chicaco house heavyweight Felix Da Housecat, as well as Nine Inch Nails and Vicarious Bliss:

MP3: Ladytron - Play Girl (Felix Da Housecat Glitz Clubhead Mix)

MP3: Ladytron - Soft Power (Vicarious Bliss Gutter Mix)

MP3: Nine Inch Nails - The Beginning of the End (Ladytron Remix)

Ladytron tours through Europe, US and Canada beginning April 30th in Manchester. See if they stop by your town on Ladytron’s MySpace.

If you plan on seeing Ladytron at Hollywood & Highland, you need know know that although the party is free, you need an incoming Metro (MTA) ticket stub. So take some public transportation and you can get utterly aresholed on booze without worry! It’s a win/win!

We have a couple handful of invites to give out to this swank little free party, with free drinks and Ladytron on the decks. You’re down? Send an email to us before 3pm tomorrow, and, if you’re lucky, we’ll put you on the list that night—you even bring a date or heterosexual life-partner. To enter:
