It’s been seven long years since Liverpool-formed electro-pop quartet Ladytron released their last album, 2011’s Gravity the Seducer. Its saturated and murky hues and interplay between shadow and light capture the burgeoning city’s tensions and pleasures and reflect the sonic palette of the song which is a combination of primitive synths, emotive harmonies, and lyrics that contemplate humans’ bestial impulses.”
The film is the result of conversations between the director and Ladytron’s Daniel Hunt, who has lived in São Paulo for the past five years. Watch it below.Ī press release describes “The Animals” video as such: “The short film is a love letter to São Paulo that follows a group of young people on a sensory, violent, and joyous trip through the megalopolis’ underworld, creating a snapshot of Brazil’s dark, contemporary moment where shifting mores regarding culture, gender, spirituality, and identity collide. It barely features the band (singer Helen Marnie shows up briefly on a TV screen), instead the Fernando Nogari-directed film centers on the people of São Paulo. Now the band has shared a video for “The Animals.” They are calling it a short film and it was filmed in São Paulo, Brazil. Then they also shared a remix of the song by Vince Clarke of Erasure (and formerly of Depeche Mode).
Last month Ladytron released their first new music in seven years, the new song “The Animals.” It was one of our Songs of the Week.
