''Gravity the Seducer'' was produced "while removed from that thinking".〔 In an interview with ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, singer Helen Marnie described the album as "the warmest, most emotional, thing we've ever done". The vocal parts on the album have been mixed at a lower volume than previous Ladytron albums, while four tracks are entirely instrumental. The title ''Gravity the Seducer'' is taken from a line in the song "Ninety Degrees", which Hunt has described as "expanding our creative horizons". The cover artwork, designed by Neil Krug, has been described as an "endless vista" thematically linked the music's "vast atmospheres",〔 and has been compared to the works of design group Hipgnosis.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gravity the Seducer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
