Thoughts on Ladytron?

I think they're fantastic. Ghosts is probably my favourite song from them.
Ghosts is a tune

from the pictured album, great song
I purchased the album on compact disc when it was released. I remember getting it from the general store, where Mr. Willoughby would sell penny candy to us kids for a ha'penny if he was in a good mood. Then we ran down the road, rolling our hoops with our sticks. That was the day I got my first tricorn hat.
Yeah, in all seriousness, it's a great song.

Ah, I remember listening to Ghosts as sung acapella by friends and neighbours down by the Baker street underground, as we hid from the Luftwaffe during the Blitz

Their lyrics aren't particularly deep, the vocals aren't exactly showing a wide range of pitch or even emotion, originality between songs is mostly lacking, and though the backing is pretty boss, the main melodies are on the verge of being nursery rhymes....
... and yet I adore this band, with their smooth and entrancing synth, simple lyrics sung with Helen Marnie's silky enticing northern/scottish accent.
I can't shake the idea that I'm listening to low quality barely thought out music, but I also can't shake the idea that anyone's trying to sell me on them either.
They just put out these WYHIWYG songs, and there's this sense of raw honesty to their bleak and bland style that really jams with me.
Music without pretense, subtext, or reference. Just music. I love it.
Heard the simlish version of "Ghosts" in the Sims 2 years ago and was completely obsessed with their music for a while lmfao, that one and "Seventeen" still hold a special place in my heart.

They're very comfortable to listen to, partly because they don't have much variety. 604 has most of their best songs (imo) Discotraxx, Another Breakfast with You, Playgirl, and Ladybird are all great, slightly sad sounding.

One of my all-time favorite groups - wild to see them come up as a random question lol. You're right, they're just ... Cozy. And have always just kinda done what they've done.

You’re right, they’re just … Cozy. And have always just kinda done what they’ve done.
And I totally respect it!
