Klaxons stream new track and announce tour dates
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 26 May 2010
Having spent a couple of years attempting to record their second album, scrapping their initial effort in full, Klaxons have finally cracked it, it seems. Having been in the studio with producer Ross Robinson (who has worked with everyone from Sepultura to The Cure), the first song from the new album, ‘Flashover’, was premiered on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show last night and is streaming via the band’s website now.
Says bassist Jamie Reynolds of their progression since the release of their debut album, ‘Myths Of The Near Future’, in 2007: “We were an art project that got out of hand, but now we are a band”.
Speaking as someone who has always had somewhere between little and no time for Klaxons in the past, I can report that ‘Flashover’ is actually pretty bloody good. You can hear it here: www.klaxons.net
In addition to this, the band have announced three live dates for July, which look exactly like these ones I am about to type out here:
13 Jul: Glasgow, King Tut’s
14 Jul: Manchester, Ruby Lounge
27 Jul: London, Village Underground
