New Dance Techno Music 05/13/08

New songs and albums to check out this week from Ladytron, The Cure, Hot Chip, She Wants Revenge, Delirium and Pendulum

Quickly scanning iTunes new releases list reveals a great week for electronic and dance music. Electronic outfit Ladytron release a new EP, Ghosts, the follow up to their brilliant 2005 album Witching Hour and a prelude to their new disc coming in June.

The EP includes several remixes of the somewhat apologetic song. “There’s a ghost in me that wants to say ‘I’m sorry’, Doesn’t mean I’m sorry,” reveals that Ladytron has kept its enigmatic outlook on life while continuing to make groundbreaking music. The "Cassette Jam Mix" works the best and even outshines the original single.

Goth / Dance/ hard to classify The Cure release two brand new singles, “The Only One” and B-side “NY Trip” culled from their untitled new album slated for release on September 13. In a new promotional trial, the band plans to release a new single on the 13th of every month leading up to the issue of the album that has been delayed several times.

Also out this week, the new single from Hot Chip, “One Pure Thought” and a new EP from French dance act Justice titled DVNO – EP, as well as a brand new EP from Delirium called Silence.

Originally a track on their 1997 album Karma, the well known single featuring vocals from Sarah McLachlan, has been remixed, re-dubbed and re-released so many times it seems they’re in a battle with New Order to see who can re-release the same material the most times.

She Wants Revenge has struggled to get much recognition for its second album, This Is Forever, but releases a new track from it this week called “Save Your Soul”.

Finally Australian electronic act Pendulum release their new album In Silicio featuring the brilliant single “Propane Nightmare” currently nestled in the UK Top 20.
