Klaxons finish work on new record
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater February 26th, 2010

The very long and eagerly awaited follow-up to Klaxons' 2007 Mercury Prize winning debut, Myths Of The Near Future is done, or at least the recording of it is, according to Ross Robinson's Twitter - something we obviously take as gospel. Why would he lie?!

He posted:

4 month klaxon party is over. Time to re-paint some walls and chuck some blankets! Should I sell them on eBay?

There was also this picture of the offending blankets. They look more like duvets to me, though.

From http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/photos/full/69462395.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0ZRYP5X5F6FSMBCCSE82&Expires=1267187836&Signature=3%2Fq1xQ1xSpEeOl7AQA2QKbw3twQ%3D

After recording what was to be their second album, the band were apparently told to re-record parts of it, according to The Sun. We also take what they say as gospel. It was also backed up by lead singer Jamie Reynolds, however, who said:

"We've been asked to re-record part of the album because we've made a dense, psychedelic record. We've made a really heavy record and it isn't the right thing for us - I understand and know that. First and foremost, we're a pop band. I haven't thought about that for a long time, and now it's in the forefront of my mind."

We don't know what all of the songs are on the as-yet-untitled record, though here are some candidates:

  • The Parhelion
  • Moonhead
  • Marble Fields And The Hydrolight Head Of Delusion
  • Imaginary Pleasures
  • Silver Forest
  • Echos
  • Venus
  • Hoodoo Bora
  • Future Memory

The band started recording with Robinson in LA in November last year. Robinson also posted another picture a few days ago, a list of what he had to finish on the record, seemingly. Have a look at the man's handwriting and to-do list. Also see if you can deduce any more information from it than I could.
