 Fresh from debut festival sets that utterly
smashed up Reading and Leeds,
Klaxons follow up the cult success of independent 7"s 'Gravity's Rainbow' and ‘Atlantis To Interzone', with
'Magick'.
Forget the new rave misnomers this is Britain's
brightest, most original new band delivering genre pile up of eye watering
proportions - the kind of neu wave Krautpunkmetaldisko that owes
more to PiL's Metal Box than Shut Up & Dance.
Thrillingly ambitious, ridiculously
exciting, Klaxons have already taken over the dancefloor. This is one step
further - music to make girls mosh.
On the flipside Klaxons' current producer
James Ford dons his artistic Simian Mobile Disco hat and delivers an epochal acid
house remixguaranteed to be tangling dancefloors
throughout the Autumn.Deliverance-style geetar and more
edge-of-insanity yearnings from James, Simon and Jamie sees b-side ‘Hall Of
Records’ coming on as another effortlessly essential anthem in the waiting and
is already a firm live show favourite. Anybody that witnessed the furore around
their Reading show or any of the more intimate sweat-fests of the summer will
know precisely where they have come from and think they’ll know what to expect
from the album early in 2007. Magick has already hinted that they have designs
beyond any expectations of their music though - best to save the futile
predictions and enjoy the trip.Klaxons headline the ‘Club NME Presents’
tour in September / October.
