Named after Roxy Music’s song “Ladytron,” the band. “Ladytron is, for me, the best of English pop music,” said Brian Eno, a former member of Roxy Music, in 2009. “They’re the kind of band that really only appears in England, with this funny mixture of eccentric art school dicking around and dressing up, with a full awareness of what’s happening everywhere musically, which is kind of knitted together and woven into something quite new.” Aroyo wrote lyrics in her native Bulgarian for a few of the band’s tracks.
