FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE     As they have with their previous six studio albums, Ladytron release an album of remixes for Time’s Arrow on October 25: Time’s Arrow Remixed. The album serves as the final coda in the Time's Arrow campaign, as Ladytron enter the studio to complete their next project. True to their vision, the band has meticulously curated an eclectic group of remixers, including longtime collaborators like Vector Lovers, Blakkat and Pato Watson alongside emerging talents like Lee K, Lucas Frota and Maude Vôs. The result is a vibrant collection of reworks that expand the sonic boundaries of the original album.

The remix journey begins today, October 4th with DJ Slow’s interpretation of We Never Went Away” DJ Slow (aka Vellu Maurola, co-founder of Pepe Deluxé and member of SlowHill) shared his enthusiasm: 

"As a long-time admirer of Ladytron, it was an honor to contribute to this project. For the remix, I immersed myself in the atmospheric and electronic layers that define their sound, infusing it with my own unique touch. My aim was to preserve the haunting beauty of the original track while weaving in cinematic grooves that transport listeners to a new auditory dimension."
 
The release will be followed by Vector Lovers’ remix of the album’s title track on October 11th, and Stealing Sheep’s reimagining of “The Night” on October 18th. Blakkat takes on the remix duties of focus track, California,” coinciding with the full release of Time's Arrow Remixed.

These remixes will resonate with a broad spectrum of audiences, traversing genres from house and techno to downtempo and Brazilian influences.

Time's Arrow itself was lauded as a dystopian yet radiant masterpiece, earning a place on Rolling Stone's Best Albums of 2023 list. It also garnered praise from outlets like Mojo giving it 4 stars "Burnished synth-pop meets the hyperreality of travel" and PopDose Magazine, with the latter calling it “a visceral experience, delivering chills and euphoria in equal measure.” Pitchfork extolled the album, noting that it “proves how Ladytron's enduring brand of atmospheric synthpop remains utterly mesmerizing.”

Featuring standout singles like “City of Angels,”  “Misery Remember Me,” and  “Faces,” Time's Arrow was a musical tour de force. The Line of Best Fit reflected on the album, saying, “Times Arrow finds Ladytron revitalized, creating music that flows with a dreamlike sense of nuance and complexity, where darkness may finally concede to light.”

With themes that explore the beauty, transience, and fragility of modern culture, Time's Arrow marries crystalline melodies with icy textures, rippling arpeggios, and a fusion of shoegaze, disco, and industrial elements—all of which are now set to be transformed in Time's Arrow Remixed, offering fans an entirely new sonic landscape to explore.
