Ladytron make electronic music, using a combination of antique analogue synthesizers to achieve their distinct sound. Ladytron's lyrics are often obscure, sometimes dominated by snippets of everyday life, and sometimes written in Bulgarian by Bulgarian bandmember Mira Aroyo. The group's live performances include live guitar, bass and drums along with the main electronic instruments. Unlike many electronic artists, Ladytron avoids using sampling in their shows, and instead play everything live using synthesizers; Albums so far have focused on a balance between pop structures and analogue electronic sound, along with some more experimental leanings. Witching Hour saw an augmentation of their sound, leading the album to be described by Pitchfork as a "quantum leap record".
