Modular People

August 20, 2010

It’s been 3 years since Klaxons burst onto the music scene, injecting a dazzling and much needed moment of rave hedonism into the midst of indie tedium with the truly original and enormously influential Mercury award-winning album Myths Of The Near Future.

Now with the charts full of everything from synth pop to techno-based indie bands, pop culture is once more in thrall to electronic music. Always ahead of the curve, Klaxons have returned with a new back to basics rock approach and a burning desire to turn the music world on its head once again and inspire kids to pick up guitars.

Produced in LA by US rock legend Ross Robinson (Sepultura, Slipknot, At the Drive In, The Cure) and written throughout the last three long years of extreme musical and psychedelic experimentation. Surfing The Void is a game-changing album dripping with sonic and cultural ambition, but still heavy on the flashes of pop genius that we all know and love Klaxons for.

We were given a taster of what to expect – or perhaps what not to expect -with the teaser track ‘Flashover’ being streamed on www.klaxons.net last month.

Now it’s time for the full sonic explosion.
