KLAXONS Myths of the Near Future (Polydor/Universal) |
 THE Klaxons are said to be the pioneers of "nu rave", but there is not much rave in their debut album Myths of the Near Future. Instead, this album is for the rock fans who wants something different, as from head to it does not disappoint at all. The songs are futuristic, energetic, groovy and the music is pretty catchy although the lyrics might not make sense. To me, this band seems to be a cross between two fun-loving bands - The Darkness and Space. The standout tracks for me are the opener Two Receivers, Atlantis to Interzone and Totem on the Timeline. The other songs are not too bad either, although most of the songs sound similar. It's an impressive debut for the Londoners who have already sold out gigs in Australia, Europe and Japan. Don't be surprised if you hear more of the Klaxons in the coming months. I'm not sure what genre this album really belongs to, but I would heartily recommend it to those who love the Brit scene. |
