Don Letts - Outta Sync - he's been around so long it's hard to believe this is his first album as an artist

Don Letts’ philosophy has always been that another day brings a new opportunity. And so, at the age of 67-years-old, the musician, DJ, film director, radio broadcaster, author and honorary doctorate today completes the one creative endeavour that he has not yet pursued: the release of his debut album ‘Outta Sync’. ‘Outta Sync’ is a glorious experience that traverses across Don’s myriad array of musical passions, taking in elements of cosmic reggae, psych ska and kaleidoscopic pop, coloured by Hammond, sitar, melodica, glockenspiel and an a-list synth line-up of Minimoog, Arp Odyssey and Korg MS20. It’s also a record full of inspired collaborations with a range of creative forces, many of whom have an intriguing connection to his storied career. A quick roll call: producer, solo artist and worldbeat pioneer Gaudi; Grammy-winning producer and Killing Joke bassist Youth; Hollie Cook, Zoe Devlin Love, Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips and, of course, Don’s daughter Honor. But at the centre is the voice of the man himself, his mellifluous vocals, raps and spoken word sharing hopes and fears born from his years of experience… albeit with the lyrical disclaimer, “I’ve finally come to realise I might not be so old and wise.” Don says, “This album is totally me. The sum total of my whole cultural journey is on this record, and it reflects the duality of my existence, which is Black and British. It’s essentially a soundtrack to my mind, with some wicked bass lines.” And that’s the ‘Outta Sync’ album. The west Londoner, who has worked with everyone from The Clash to Sinead O’Connor, Bob Marley to Paul McCartney and multiple others on assorted adventures in between, has now made an album of his own. But as tomorrow is another day and another opportunity, the question that remains is: what next for the Rebel Dread?

Ladytron — Time’s Arrow (Cooking Vinyl)

Photo by Wendy Redfern

Ladytron already had their big comeback. The formed-in-Liverpool, now-international quartet took a few years to assemble their starkly dystopian 2019 self-titled record, shortly before the rest of the world became dystopic in new and interesting ways. Ladytron was practically the model of (one version of) a triumphant return: bigger and bolder and weightier than ever, a real Statement (but with tunes). Everyone’s senses of time seem increasingly fuzzy, but the gap between its release and that first period of chaos and uncertainty seems vanishingly small in retrospect. In 2023, though, no matter how cautious or reckless any of us are being, the simple fact is that living in a still unmanaged pandemic (not to mention… everything else) has become in some way routine. None of the systems of power, control and repression that Ladytron evoked have gone away, but the horrible truth is that humans will adjust to just about anything, even constantly shrieking alarms. Fittingly enough, the first record Ladytron have made in this new normal is less about noticing those structures and more about limning the small moments of beauty, joy and freedom that can still be found within them.

This thematic and tonal shift doesn’t require much of a change in sonics. Mira Arroyo and Helen Marnie’s vocals still feel like each syllable is carefully placed, calibrated to summon up emotions without necessarily directly expressing catharsis. The music sticks to the same general lane Ladytron have trafficked in since they (plus Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu) moved away from the straightforward throwback synthpop of the first two LPs with 2005’s dreampop-adjacent Witching Hour. That record really unlocked Ladytron’s sound and they haven’t exhausted its possibilities yet; the pulse and stomp of opener “City of Angels” or the sparkling twilight balladry of “Misery Remember Me” are classic examples of what Ladytron has always done well and why it’s good to have them back. 

Especially on the back half of Time’s Arrow, though, there are some new wrinkles. Has Ladytron ever had a song as plainly joyous as “The Night,” with the synths surging warmly around Marnie almost cooing “so let’s go crazy”? It’s followed directly by “The Dreamers,” a little more downcast but still sounding like the soundtrack to running away with someone. Elsewhere “California” almost pleads for the titular state to “make us happy” (albeit on a track that sounds like slowly sliding down the side of a glacier). As you dig into the lyrics none of the songs here are facilely happy, or in denial about the same emotional and structure issues Ladytron brought to the surface. But if that last record was about coming to terms with living in an ongoing disaster (ecological and otherwise), Time’s Arrow is more about navigating life after that kind of realization. The day in/day out still happens, time’s arrow (as Arroyo sings on the closing title track) still glides through your heart. 

As is common on Ladytron records, Marnie sings most of the songs but Arroyo’s couple of leads are crucial. In addition to time another big throughline here is the always-shifting power memory, and on the first side’s “Flight From Angkor” she faces it directly: “memory's a hall of mirrors / echoing for years.” Things keep happening, and the longer they do the more hazy our grasp on that moment of realization we had gets. What is there to do but draw together, find safety and community where we can, try to change things, and dance?

my #17 Track of the Year for 2023 is...

"The Dreamers" by Ladytron!

the 2023 anthem of High Jax. and the best cut off the second best album of the year. this entire album is basically this -- synth textures, urban dystopia, thick scottish accents. and this track, almost literally the album's centerpiece, carries you away on waves of soft pads and sparse percussion. an emotional and magical addition to the list from a group that seems to have matured quite a bit from their club anthem days.

seriously, this album is a 5/5, and you should listen to it. we'll get to this year's other 5/5 album later in this very list.

Live Review: Willy Mason at St Mary's Creative Space in Chester 03 August 2023

Having been a huge fan of the…

Ladytron - City of Angels (from Time’s Arrow out Jan 20 2023) Welcome back, Laydtron. This sounds incredible! I love that sneaky Numanesque keyboard that weaves in and out of this new single. Can’t wait if the rest of the album will sound this cool.
