The albums, surveyed on the career-spanning Best of Ladytron: 2000-2010, reflect the quartet's deftly executed (and delightfully subversive) dualities: primordial grooves vs. lushly layered synths; sanguine melodies vs. shimmering atmospherics; and art-house detachment vs. the poignant narratives delivered by dueling sirens Marnie and Aroyo. Ladytron has created a body of work that reveals a fresh creative arc - and, as time has told, served as a reference point for a current crop of artists such as Lady Gaga, Goldfrapp, La Roux and Crystal Castles.
The Best Of album is a celebration of 10 years with all the key tracks and two brand new songs. Also, a 2-CD deluxe version will include band favorites and an 80-page photo book for collectors.
