Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For a variety of reasons – among them an almost comical succession of bad luck and the continuing tastelessness of the general public – Ladytron's rightful status as one of the greatest British bands of the past decade has remained largely unrecognised.
The internationalist (Scouse-Chinese-Scottish-Bulgarian-Israeli) electro-rock quartet may not have presented a comprehensive summary of their career here, but it's a superb starting point for Ladytron latecomers, containing classics such as early statement of intent "Playgirl" and closest-thing-to-a-pop-hit "Seventeen". There are also two new tracks: a pulsating cover and the self-penned "Ace of Hz", whose effortless elegance matches Ladytron's finest. Which, when you hear the rest of this sublime compilation, you'll realise is about as high as praise can get.
