Time’s Arrow contains some of the band’s warmest, most dense compositions yet. Where you can find the hints, this is an album concerned with identity, connection, and above all dreaming. It’s referenced in everything from song titles (“The Dreamers”) to lyrical themes (“Sometimes when the lights go out we’re free,” from “Faces”) to key changes that portend transitions from Hyde to Jekyll, nightmare to bilita mpash. And so with this musing comes actual dream-pop: gauzy arrangements, vocals submerged and echoed to the point of becoming textural elements, even an interplay between the leading ladies and Hunt’s guitar on “Misery Remember Me” that sounds downright Celtic.

Their prior LPs like Light & Magic and Witching Hour comprised a necessary dark counterbalance to the endless party suggested in early-2000s scenes like New York, Australia, and France. Time’s Arrow also manages to stay true to this source code, incorporating motorik in “City of Angels,” New Wave callbacks in “Flight from Angkor,” and the leftfield pop groove of “The Night.” The title track even closes things out with a gothic twist, a disaffected cabaret march with a snappy snare sample.

Ladytron remember their roots, the skinny-ties-and-sunken-eyes crews who inspired them, while successfully branching off into territory that’s more related and relevant than first blush might reveal. Time’s Arrow finds the machines rising, yes, but humanity ready to meet them halfway. Treblezine

Released Late January 2023 by Cooking Vinyl.
