Biography
Myths of the Near Future captured blog-era excitement about dance-punk hybrids.
Golden Skans balanced angular riffs with chorus brightness for crossover programmers.
Later albums chased psychedelic textures without abandoning rhythmic twitch.
Lossless audio keeps synth buzz, falsetto stacks, and drum attack edgy.
The Klaxons were part of the new rave movement of 2006 and 2007, mixing indie guitars with glow sticks and electronics. Jamie Reynolds, James Righton, Simon Taylor-Davis, and Steffan Halperin made Myths of the Near Future (2007), which won the Mercury Prize.
Golden Skans and Gravity’s Rainbow were the best-known singles. Surfing the Void (2010) was their second album, and Love Frequency followed in 2014.
