The Klaxons are pretty new to the music scene and are at the top of the
game heading the "Nu Rave" music scene and it’s good to
see that the bands debut album 'Myths Of The Near Future' has eleven tracks
of pure catchiness and sounds different than most bands around at the moment
'Two Receivers' opens the album brilliantly with its chilled out sound
and beautiful vocals with lyrics about science fiction and space which
seems to be the theme for a lot of the album. The intro to 'Atlantis To
interzone' sounds like your at a rave with the loud alarm/siren sounds
going off, and the fast catchy vocals make this one of the best songs
on the album.
The bands latest single 'Golden Skans' was the first Klaxons song I ever
heard and I wasn’t really impressed with it but after hearing it
many more times it’s really grown on me and such a classic song.
The whole album is full of such good highlights from the intro to 'As
Above So Below', to the bass line in 'Isle Of Her', to the indie sound
of 'Forgotten Works' as well as a stunning cover of 'It's not Over Yet'.
My favourite track of the album has got to be 'Totem On The Timeline'
which is such a catchy song, full of random lyrics sung beautifully by
Jamie Reynolds.
Each song on this album sounds different from the last making way for
a good variety of sounds. If you’re not a big fan of 'Golden Skans'
I would still recommend you check out this album as I didn’t like
the song to start with and now I love both the single and the album.
4/5
