Take a glance at John Stanier's resume and the word 'eclectic' comes to mind. So should the word 'drummer', as Stanier's been responsible for skin duties in many a musical outfit over the past two decades: from Helmet and Battles, to Adelaide's The Mark of Cain, Stanier's penchant for percussion is well documented.

After the huge success of 2007's eponymous album, Robyn is back with her killer combination of natural pop nous and cool sassiness offering up an exciting mix of electronica, heartfelt pop songs and tracks that have all the hallmarks of becoming classic club hits.

The first, Body Talk Pt. 1, will be released on June 18th with the new single "Dancing On My Own". Diplo, Royksopp, Kleerup and Klas Ahlund (amongst others) are all on board in Producer's roles.

Klaxons are set to launch their Ross Robinson-produced sophomore album later in the year and will be using the Reading And Leeds Festivals in the UK to launch the anticipated record. Guitarist Simon Taylor-Davies recently told NME: "One of the fundamental things about this new record is how much of a live record it is: it was written and recorded with the four of us in a room facing each, in a room that was about three metres squared."
