Once upon a time, Ladytron had a fifth member who played bass, remixed a song for the band, and also was featured on Softcore Jukebox, and I'm not sure what else he was able to accomplish with them. He's been in a band called Super Numeri (who I know nothing about) but more noticebly he's been releasing (solo?) music for the past few years as the one, the only, Pop Levi.
Pop Levi has just released a new full-length entitled The Return To Form Black Magic, which channels a lot of 60's psychedelic pop/folk/rock and reminds me of Of Montreal at same strange, unexplainable moments. It has some solid singles ("Sugar Assault Me Now," "Blue Honey"), and while the 2nd half of the album doesn't really float my boat, I've been assaulted lately by how killer "Pick Me Up Uppercut" is of a song. With a catchy chorus, fuzz guitar, and hand claps, you can't go wrong.
