Ladytron, E’ Di Nuovo L’ora Delle Streghe

Marco Mancuso
é questo il caso, decisamente, dei Ladytron, fenomeno pop degli ultimi anni grazie alla pubblicazione nel 2001 e nel 2002 di due album folgoranti per gli amanti del genere come 604 e Light and Magic nonché di alcune vere e proprie hit come Playgirl o Seventeen o True Mathematics. Il quartetto di Liverpool (Daniel Hunt, Reuben Wu, e le vocalist Helen Marnie e la bellissima Mira Aroyo) ha appena dato alle stampe il suo terzo album, Witching Hour, dopo una lunghissima assenza durata quasi 4 anni, dovuta prima a una interminabile attivitˆ live in giro per il mondo e poi a problemi contrattuali con relativo cambio di etichetta....
