"The Hunter" featured on TEC's 30 Best Songs of 2013 list

"The Hunter" featured on The Electricity Club's 30 Best Songs of 2013 list. The list is sorted alphabetically by artist names. The song was introduced with this paragraph:

"Ladytron's Helen Marnie released her long awaited debut solo album Crystal World in the summer. Recorded in Iceland, it suitably captured the island's beautifully relaxed but volatile atmosphere. Its opening track "The Hunter" was a tremendous calling card and the vibrant electropop single that Ladytron never quite got round to releasing. Very pretty and delectably glacial, the tune was vocally and musically expansive like an Arctic escapist fantasy, melancholic but free of doom".

Helen Marnie was also mentioned in End of Year 2013 Review by The Electricity Club:

"Artists who made their name during electroclash such as ADULT. and Miss Kittin made welcome returns in 2013 while also from that era, Ladytron's Helen Marnie released her first solo offering Crystal World; crowd funded via Pledge Music, it was a novel but effective way of securing a promotional budget that involved fans in the process by offering exclusive updates and an opportunity to purchase exclusive memorabilia. In Marnie's case, items on sale ranged from hand written lyric sheets to her Mini-Cooper and a bikini!".

Marnie's "The Hunter" is the third videoclip of the year at The VPME Awards 2013

According to The Von Pip Musical Express, "The Hunter" is the third video of the year.

They posted also this comment: "This was the first glimpse of Marnie's debut album which of course induced ridiculous excitement in VP Towers and no, it had absolutely nothing to do with the latex body suit, what do you take us for? Benny Hill?".

Marnie's "Crystal World" won The VPME's Album of the Year award

Marnie's Crystal World won the Album of the Year award by The Von Pip Musical Express! This site also gave a 5/5 rating and review to this album. Here's the message from The VPME:

Yes, our favourite album of 2013 comes from Ladytron singer Helen Marnie, we described the album as "a hugely emotive record which sees Helen step out from behind her mysterious sultry Ladytron persona and reveal herself to be a songwriter of enormous emotional depth and honesty, able to produce songs which are poetic, fragile, heartfelt, and often downright heart-breakingly beautiful. In doing so she demonstrates just how inspiring, poignant, and engaging pop music can be when it's produced with such eloquence and sincerity. If this album genuinely doesn't move you then we can only conclude your sorry excuse for a soul is as withered, empty and indeed as tiny as Jeremy Clarkson's emaciated little scrotum".

Upon accepting her magnificent "Pipster" award Helen said, "I had no idea how the album would be received so was pretty nervous. I've never won an award! Also, I never thought my name and Jeremy Clarkson's scrotum would appear on the same page. Now that is quite something! Thanks again x".
