Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released on the legendary New Hormones label, 'The Seduction' is a complex, feminist deconstruction of pop music norms spearheaded by Linder Sterling's acerbic vocal presence. The instrumentation aggressively interpolates jazz-rock dexterity and avant-prog dissonance into the Manchester post-punk template, cementing Ludus as one of the era's most intellectually rigorous outfits.
