The Ladybug Transistor is from New York. Brooklyn to be exact.
The past five years have seen them evolve from a three-piece band
into a six-piece mini orchestra.
The current lineup was solidified in 1997 after the release of "Beverley
Atonale", their first full-length L.P. for Merge.
Two years later "The Albemarle Sound"
was released to much acclaim. Dubbed “the last great pop album
of the century,” it was a landmark for the group and won them
new audiences worldwide. Several tours of the United States and Europe
ensued. The Swedes for some reason have a special fondness for the
Ladybugs.
It’s the year 2001 and The Ladybug Transistor now brings us "Argyle
Heir". A.H. was recorded as always at the band’s
Marlborough Farms headquarters in Brooklyn with Gary Olson and William
Wells at the helm. |
