The Klaxons: Myths of The Future
One album that I have been recommending to friends over the last few weeks is The Klaxons‘ Myths of the Future. This is one of those rare albums where, when you listen to it, you know that the boundaries of music is being challenged again.
When I first heard Gravity’s Rainbow and Golden Skans, I immediately knew that The Klaxons are attempting to come out with a new music hybrid that aims to meld different music genres into a new, as yet unseen, form. I knew that I was at the cusp of some great shift in the world of music and the trio from London is at the center of it all. Forget what you may hear about this so called New Rave movement the Klaxons are supposed to be spearheading. Get rid of the labels and just enjoy their music — one of the funkiest and coolest sounds you will hear in 2007.

The Kalxons are fantastic, and I’m glad they’re reaching the other side of the pond.
You’re right about the labels thing, they are esentially Indie anyway, with some dance influences thrown in. Oh hang on, see what I did there? Oops
