Fighting in Built Up Areas
Electroclash extraordinaire Ladytron reach arguably their finest moment with this penultimate rocking electronic classic. Arguably well outside of the mainstream, yet not entireley withdrawn from it, Fighting in Built Up Areas is a track that surely all who embrace not only electronic, but acoustic music will enjoy. Vocalist Mira Arroyo's Bulgarian lyrics are prominent in the song, adding to the grungy, industrial feel of the track. Ladytron's famed synthesizers paired with distorted drums and guitar are prominent and feel very constructed, built around the chant of the vocals.
The track starts with a looped synth and gives way to the drum base of the track, combining with additional synths to produce the chasing, or chased, nature of the song. The song's title alludes to the atmosphere that it creates - that of an urban chase, or urban chaos. It is also exemplary of Ladytron's work - the ability to create an atmosphere, or a specific feel, to each of their songs. The song is less synth-based than much of their other work, which makes it sound distinctly modern amid their typical generation-stamped 80's-fusion sound. The rhythmic chant of the vocals carries the listener with the track, through toward the end where the song picks up to a frenetic pace, and then to the very end, where it quickly slows down to a stop.
This song can be purchased at the iTunes Music Store.
