Ladytron is the last band one would expect to see wandering through the haunted shacks and abandoned junkyards of California's high desert. But in the video for their new single "Ghosts" there is a sun-drenched sinister nature to that environment that suits the British band perfectly. Shot entirely on film, the video follows the impeccably dressed quartet through a dusty landscape of weather worn pianos and broken down vintage cars; a surreal place inhabited by oversized rabbits and where cars speed...
I saw Ladytron on their recent tour, and they fucking slay. Bliss. If you're a fan, and you haven't seen them, you're doing yourself a disservice. The songs are even better live.
Also, it's awesome that they're using the RE-20. The stacks of guitar pedals on top of MS-20s was really funny!
