The Island lyrics:
Farewell, farewell dreams we once knew
Farewell, farewell to you and you
People, people in lost and found
People, people, we've hit the ground
Falling fast, falling harder
Falling faster and harder the chains that bind us
Symptomatic departure
Symptomatic, our heavenly future
Calling out, call protection
Calling out, calling out to the hand that blinds us
Make it count, make it alive
Make it count, make it out, this is dangerous
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, give them your poison lips
Broken wires, ghetto souls
Conflicted, calculated architects
Echo a new direction
Faith, lust, desire
We are sirens of, of the apocalypse
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, give them your poison lips
Welcome, welcome your gory bed
Welcome, welcome to the island
Glory, glory begin again
Glory, glory in betrayal
Falling fast, falling harder
Falling faster and harder the chains that bind us
Symptomatic departure
Symptomatic, our heavenly future
Calling out, call protection
Calling out, calling out to the hand that blinds us
Make it count, make it alive
Make it count, make it out, this is dangerous
Poisoned paradigm
We are savages, give them your poison lips
Attitudes, privilege
Without regret, a hazard lost at sea, a toxic intuition
Faith, lust, desire
We are sirens of, of the apocalypse
Written by Helen Lindsay Marnie / Johnny Scott

Ladytron official bio:
Ladytron have announced their first album since 2011. The new chapter for Ladytron follows a hiatus which saw half the group move across hemispheres, and all experiment with solo projects and new collaborations, after five albums and a succession of world tours over the previous ten-year period.
Originating in Liverpool, the band, made up of Helen Marnie, Daniel Hunt, Mira Aroyo and Reuben Wu earned that decade of acclaim by relentlessly pushing boundaries, carving out new sonic and conceptual space and refusing to abide by formula or trend.
At the beginning they were known for shows in unconventional spaces, such as disused banks and bowling alleys, and placed emphasis on countries and cities other than their own. Thus the group's international recognition quickly grew -- playing in places where few artists went at that time, such as China in 2004 and Colombia in 2006. Along the way they twice took their primitive electronics to California's Coachella Festival, on relentless tours across Europe, Asia, North and South America, and were invited to perform with artists such as Bjork, Nine Inch Nails, and for Brian Eno at the Sydney Opera House. Eno remarked in an interview, "Ladytron are, for me, the best of English pop music. They're the kind of band that really only appears in England, with this funny mixture of eccentric art-school dicking around and dressing up, with a full awareness of what's happening everywhere musically, which is kind of knitted together and woven into something quite new."
Having made their name with minimal lo-fi debut, 604 in 2001, its successor, 2002's synth-soaked Light & Magic, had Lady tron grouped with the so-called Electroclash wave, while 2005's Witching Hour saw them break out and win over a whole new audience. Pitchfork wrote: "Every quantum leap record has a quantum leap single, and in this case, it's "Destroy Everything You Touch." With a charging chorus and shivery production that sounds as equally indebted to shoegaze as it does synthpop, this is probably the most confident and menacing thing they've ever done."
2008's harder, darker Velocifero saw them grow further with the iconic singles "Ghosts," "Runaway" & "Tomorrow." A decade's retrospective was released in 2010, featuring a new single "Ace of Hz" and to follow, 2011's Gravity the Seducer took up a cinematic thread which had weaved through the previous albums with "White Elephant," "Mirage" and standout "White Gold."

She started off missing some notes but got progressively more on point over the course of the track. Overall solid performance.
