UK electro-pop band Ladytron will release their eighth studio album «Paradises» - it will out on March 20th, 2026 via Nettwerk Music Group.
Blazing with colour, «Paradises» is Ladytron at their most sleek, most romantic, most urgent, and most psychic – a luminescent collage of tech primitivism, high-priestess disco, spectral soul, and balearic noir. It’s a beach at the end of the world, filled with premonitions, prayers, and incantations.
Produced by Daniel Hunt and mixed by long-time collaborator Jim Abbiss (Grammy winner for Adele’s debut), the expansive 16-track album marks Ladytron’s most dance-oriented record since «Light & Magic», and their most significant leap since «Witching Hour».
«When I heard the demos for «Paradises», I was truly blown away. The variety in songwriting and arrangements reminded me of «Witching Hour», but with its own unique atmosphere, sonics, and attitude.»
«It was like a homecoming. We just fit. His enthusiasm is contagious, and having that in the room really creates a kind of magic.»
Written and recorded over five months from late 2023, with final touches completed in early 2025, genre-defying «Paradises» took shape across Liverpool, São Paulo, Montrose, Dalston, and was completed at Dean Street Studios in Soho, London, where Tony Visconti famously recorded Bowie’s «Scary Monsters».
«I wanted to write from that perspective and channel that fun feeling of first working together back in the late ’90s when we had nothing to lose.»
«Feeling at ease brings the best out of us, and there was a buzz in the studio about the material that felt new»
«Every time I went into the studio, I’d come out after an hour with a new track. The key motivation was fun. Everything became fun again.»
Threads of dance music, such as proto-house, early electro, and disco, have woven through all Ladytron albums, and just like other facets of the group, come in and out of focus and prominence across their body of work. On «Paradises», one unmistakable characteristic is that side of Ladytron coming to the fore, and creating a canvas for the formation of something new.
