UPDATE: Moved from Astra to Lido!
Whether you ever ascribed to the whole “new rave” thing or not, you cant deny that Klaxons have had some great numbers and you cant really blame them too much in any case for getting involved in whatever nonsense NME might have cooked up. After all, NME is always cooking up some similar nonsense and not only does that process (along with endless provocative vox pops from one or another dickhead in Oasis) sell magazines, but also records. If I was a band I’d be begging NME to center a manufactured fad around me, certainly people would some day wake up and realise that “minimalist prog punk” was a load of bollocks, but before then I’ve sold a shit tonne of t-shirts and silver shoelaces.
Lovers of minimalist prog punk or mini-prunk as we like to call it, wear special silver shoelaces. It’s our thing and it’s just one of the ways in which we foster community.

The new stuff from Klaxons is a lot cleverer than their old stuff, getting back to them for a second. check out this clip from their new album Surfing The Void, Echoes is the title:
