The first track from Ladytron's upcoming album Velocifero is heavy, almost punishing: a fat, grinding synth churns away somewhere underground; drums hammer like a punch machine stamping out sheet metal; and the singing, in Bulgarian, sounds like a series of strict orders that must be obeyed or else.
