We were taken by the heavy, sinister buzz of Ladytron’s “Black Cat,” so how about their over-sized rabbit? The video for new Velocifero track finds the sharp-dressed gals and guys navigating a dusty desert(ed) landscape that includes plenty of shots of old shacks, cars, tires and the like, a friendly coyote, games of chicken, short skirts, high heels, long legs, and in a pivotal role, lots more of those aforementioned bunnies. (Our trips to the desert are often very similar to this video.) Also: Keep your eyes peeled for a Ladytron soup can, Warhol style. The song? Decent, and with a catchy chorus.

Those rabbits procreate like Gremlins. That car smashing sequence was a tad reminiscent of this. But classy.

Velocifero is out 6/3 via Nettwerk.

    It reminds me of No Country For Old Men…but with bunnies and a great band. Too bad Javier Bardem didn’t make an appearance. But besides that, I love the video! Mira and Helen look amazing!

    Doesn’t Mira have like a PhD from Oxford or something? Hot.

    They wrote about him and us!. Thank you Lady Tron! God of the Bible told you about us, thank you your song “Ghost” which ministered to me. You wrote a song about my past for I am 50 ish. Everything is there, in your video. everything that was us. You can call him, at your own risk. because he isn’t sorry enough to repent. nine o seven, two four seven, seven one seven two. his name is
    Frank and he gave me the car when we were first married. He was a race car driver, the station wagon was my mother’s who ruined our life. I’ve been waiting for twenty five years for him to come back home.
