Get your freak on to the second single from the forthcoming Witching Hour. Poptastic retrograde female vocals evocative of, good lord! The Pet Shop Boys. Content-wise we’re dealing with a similar kind of lyrical verse. On the right side of trashy fun, but just lacking in that mincing lasciviousness for which you could rely on Neil Tennant.
The real highlights on ‘Sugar’ are the remixes: Trevor Jackson’s Playgroup mix unites tough bass licks with visceral Chicago rhythms and Metronomy bring Ladytron’s bittersweet pop into a domain where acid trax and '80s industrial are the main components.
