Nettwerk Records’ recording artist, Ladytron, will embark on a major North American fall tour in support of their forthcoming album, Gravity The Seducer (September 13 in the US; September 12 in the UK). The month-long tour kicks off in Phoenix, AZ on September 22nd and wraps up in Miami, FL on October 15th.

While they prepare to release the upcoming video for single "White Elephant," the UK-based quartet (Daniel Hunt, Reuben Wu, Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo) decided to offer up another track from the Gravity The Seducer to tide fans over. Meticulously crafted, “Ambulances” experiments with orchestral elements pooled with ethereal vocals that erupt into a beautiful cacophony of keys, percussions and strings before subsiding into a foreboding silence.

In anticipation of their upcoming, 12-track studio album Gravity The Seducer (September 13 in the US; September 12 in the UK), Ladytron have released lead single “White Elephant.” The track is an album flagship - infectious pop beats married faithfully to vintage analogue while experimenting with orchestral instrumentation.

Additionally, the band has revealed the album’s cover art and track list. For the album artwork, Ladytron enlisted pulp art Director and Photographer, Neil Krug (Ratatat, Sea Wolf, Devendra Banhart), whose photography often touches on a rough, vintage, psychedelic feel.

Stayed tuned for more information in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the band will be touring Europe, see dates after the jump.

Nettwerk recording artist, Ladytron, have begun to reveal information about their upcoming 5th studio album. Gravity The Seducer, the follow up to 2008's Velocifero, will be in stores September 13th in the US and September 12th in the UK.

“The title is a lyric from the track “90 Degrees,” which comes towards the end of the album, and is one of the most definitive moments in terms of the album’s overall feel,” says Ladytron’s Daniel Hunt.

After the March 29th release of Best Of Ladytron: 00-10, the new studio album is another chapter after a decade’s worth of evocative, instinctive yet deliberate electronic pop music.  "Gravity the Seducer is more of a jump than the last album was, more ethereal & melodic, a touch more abstract in places than we've gone before, baroque ‘n' roll. It was a pleasure to make, took us right through last summer. It's our best record in my opinion," continues Hunt.

Ladytron's Best Of Remixes is out March 8th in anticipation of  their upcoming album Best of Ladytron: 00-10,  a collection of Ladytron's finest work over the last decade, out March 29. Check out a sample of remixes below.
