Reuben published on his Soundcloud account a new track, "How to Avoid a Pirate Attack". Because it ends too soon, I think he did also a longer version of this cool techno track.

Ladytron featured on TEC's 30 Favourite Gigs 2010-2014 list
Ladytron at The Forum (2011)
Mira Aroyo's distinctive Bulgarian over the mechanical buzz of "True Mathematics", a fabulously frantic cover of Death in June's "Little Black Angel" and old favourite "Discotraxx" with its repeated claptrap fill were key show highlights.
And to finish, there was the magnificent "Destroy Everything You Touch". Totally glorious and sensational, the mind blowing synchronised laser display and strobes totally complimented what has always sounded like the backing to a "cold war" rave.

Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo featured on TEC's Favourite 30 Albums 2010-2014 list
Marnie's album Crystal World featured on The Electricity Club's Favourite 30 Albums 2010-2014 list. There's also mentioned Mira Aroyo's collaboration with John Foxx & The Maths on their album Interplay. Unfortunately TEC didn't include Ladytron's fifth album, Gravity the Seducer.
With Ladytron in hiatus, Helen Marnie set out "to create an electronic album with more of a pop element and pristine vocals" for her first solo record. Vocally and musically expansive like an Arctic escapist fantasy, this objective was achieved with Crystal World with the classic pop of ABBA and Mama Cass obviously apparent as well as Marnie"s love of fellow weegies Chvrches.
The brilliant launch single "The Hunter" was the vibrant electropop single that Ladytron never quite got round to releasing while there were other shining jewels like "Hearts On Fire", "We Are the Sea", "High Road" and "Sugarland". Meanwhile, "The Wind Breezes On" was Marnie"s own "Love Is a Stranger" while the neo-acappella "Laura" sat as a lush centrepiece to the collection.
"Interplay" was possibly John Foxx's most complete and accessible body of work since his classic Metamatic. Together with Chief Mathematician and synth collector extraordinaire Benge aka The Maths, the use of vintage electronics with modern recording techniques captured a mechanised charm while simultaneously adding a correlative warmth.
Among the realised examples of this fresh approach were the feisty "Catwalk", the electro-folkisms of "Evergreen" and the eerie "The Running Man". One of the stand-out tracks "Watching a Building On Fire" featured Mira Aroyo of Ladytron and was perfectly dystopian, while the title track and closer "The Good Shadow" both added a subtle atmospheric quality to proceedings.

"Wolves" to be released on 7" vinyl
The vinyl is limited to 500 copies and has the catalog code TWI 1165. The B-side of the single features a driving analog remix of "Wolves" by Greek synthpop duo Marsheaux.
According to Helen: "The song reflects the sea of change that is people power. Where there is power, there is resistance".
"Wolves" is an electro ballad produced by Jonny Scott (The Kills, Strike the Colours).
