The album was produced by the band's Daniel Hunt with sessions in Liverpool, São Paulo, Montrose, Dalston, and London, with mixing duties handled by longtime collaborator Jim Abbiss. While always an electronic band, Ladytron have made their most dancefloor-forward album with Paradises. "There's an itch we never scratched," Hunt says, "which is that despite our origins in the DJ world, we never actually made a 'disco' record. Albeit, 'disco' in our context has a somewhat different meaning."
