Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.
Ladytron’sdebut album “604” was released on February 6, 2001 – 25 years ago. Did you already know these facts?
★ The number “604” refers to the British Columbia area code.
★ With their second single release “Playgirl”, they created a kind of poetic hymn to small-town claustrophobia.
★ Three different cuts of the accompanying music video are circulating.
★ Singer Helen Marnie’s deliberately emotionless performance fits perfectly with the minimalist electronic sounds, but also with the lyrics: she hints at having already escaped her hometown in favor of a better place.
★ Ladytron at least make it into the top 100 in the British charts with “Playgirl”.
