To celebrate the UK re-release of 2005's fine Witching Hour (out now on So Sweet), Ladytron will issue a single for "Destroy Everything You Touch" October 22 that features a remix of the track by Hot Chip and a Simian Mobile Disco revamp of "International Dateline". Hipness overload!

The Witching Hour re-release contains a bonus disc that includes both extra cuts from the "Destroy" single, plus a mess of bonus tracks and other remixes from the likes of Playgroup, Vicarious Bliss, and James Iha. Guess he's bored?

While we're on the subject of Ladytron remixes, we'd be remiss to not mention their planned contribution to that mysterious Nine Inch Nails remix disc. Far less mysterious, however, are the group's plans for the fall, which-- according to a MySpace blog-- go like this: "We're off to Paris for the next seven weeks or so, to record the follow up to Witching Hour, in collaboration with our friend Vicarious Bliss, check him out if you haven't heard his stuff already. We're all really excited about it. More detail as it happens." Okay!

Ladytron were scheduled to perform at this winter's Portishead-curated ATP Nightmare Before Christmas, but they have had to cancel.
