The first cut from their upcoming third album is brilliant. Having fallen out of love with the band after their first album – their second passed me by – ‘There Is No Other Time’ brings the relationship back into focus. Though different from the likes of ‘Golden Skans’ and ‘It’s Not Over Yet’, it’s a…
The first cut from the band’s third album Love Frequency, ‘There Is No Other Time’ is a surprising change of direction, possibly down to their work with Gorgon City on this piece. There’s certainly a more dance focussed feeling to it and it just about skates around familiar territory to deliver something that’s both poppy…
After breaking their four-year hiatus with last months double-whammy of ‘There Is No Other Time‘ and ‘Children Of The Sun‘, Klaxons have today announced they will release their third album on 2 June. The album will be called Love Frequency, and boasts some stellar names on production duties including James Murphy, Erol Alkan, Gorgon City…
Two new tracks from the Klaxons, a new one from Gruff Rhys, the return of both Howling Bells and Little Dragon, killer remixes from Four Tet, Kanye West, Mssing No and brand new tracks from exciting up-and-comers like JUNGLE, Circa Waves, Hockeysmith and more. It’s safe to say February was a pretty awesome month in…
Electro-rockers Klaxons have decided to jump on the free Christmas download bandwagon – announcing today that they will be releasing an EP for free on the big day.

Klaxons – Surfing The Void A lot has been said about the production process of Klaxons’ second album. To summarise: they struggled for about a year in the studio trying to settle on the right sound and direction to take – a struggle that nearly led to them giving up completely. When they did finally…
Klaxons- Echoes After instigating the ‘nu-rave’ movement and inspiring a host of new bands with their first album Myths Of The Near Future, Klaxons are back and eager to regain their crown as the world’s premier electro-pop psychedelics. This didn’t get off to the best of starts earlier this year when their label rejected their…
The Reading and Leeds weekenders have traditionally been the UK’s premier rock festivals. With the number of summer music festivals increasing recently – and more and more attracting big-name headliners – the rock angle of Reading and Leeds has been accentuated in recent times in order to hang on to its image as the biggest…

It was also going to be tricky to follow up the storming ‘There Is No Other Time’ but in releasing ‘Show Me A Miracle’ Klaxons have failed more than you’d think in its shadow. Not as experimental as their earlier material nor as poppy as their most recent single, it falls between two chairs and…
