Similar songs & what is this style called? (Ladytron)

Post Reply New Topic

I was looking into the origins of one of my favourite bands, Ladytron when I found out their name came from a Roxy Music song, I loved the singing in that song and I was wondering whether that was a particular genre and if you could recommend some similar songs? Thanks. My only regret with this song is that there's too much music and not enough singing IMO.

Here's what their wikipedia article says: "Ladytron's music style blends various subgenres of electronic music, like electropop and synthpop, with New Wave and shoegazing influences."

For origins of Ladytron the band I'd suggest Yellow Magic Orchestra.

Something similar to Roxy's Ladytron is tricky, perhaps you'd like Brian Eno.
