**The Band**
Klaxons are an English indie/dance/nu rave band. The are definately unique and that's what attracted me to them in the first place, i've never heard anything like them before. In recent years they have become increasingly popular at festivals. The current members of the band are: Jamie Reynolds, James Righton, Simon Taylor-Davis and Steffan Halperin. So far they have only released one studio album:
Myths Of The Near Future (2007)


**My Favourite Tracks**


**#3.Golden Skans**
I love everything about this track! It starts off with vocals and then really kicks in, it's brilliant. There are a lot of ideas and theorys as to what this song is actually about, personally, i'm still not sure! Some say that it has something to do with American Indian mythology. Another theory, one that makes the most sense to me, is that the song is referring to the collection of stories by JG Ballard called 'Myths Of The Near Future' which is where the album actually gets it's name. My favourite lyrics from this track are: "A hall of records or numbers, or spaces still undone, ruins or relics, disciples and the young." 8/10 from me.


**#7.Gravity's Rainbow**
There's one thing that I really love about this song- the bouncy, fast paced style. It's a perfect rave tune and a definate crowd pleaser. As with most of the songs on this album, the meanings are complex. As far as i'm aware, this track is a reference to the novel written by Thomas Pynchon. My favourite lyrics from this track are: "All ships of sense on hyper ocean, all kytes of chaos still in motion, my culture vulture such a dab hand, I'll steel you from the year 4000." Such a strange yet brilliant song. Again, 8/10.


**#10.It's Not Over Yet**
Right from the very first second that I heard this song I loved it. I loved the electric sounds, the vocals- everything. To me, this song is about a relationship breakup and how the guy loves the girl and wants her to stay. He keeps telling himself that the relationship isn't over, he refuses to believe it. This track is one of my all time favourite songs! My favourite lyrics are: "I live for you, I de for you, do what you want me to. I cry for you, my tears will show that I can't let you go." Definately 10/10.

**My Overall Opinion**
I think that this was a fantastic debut from Klaxons. There is a good mixture of different tracks, each completely unique. I don't think that there will be another band like Klaxons for a very long time. The meanings behind their songs are also something completely different and original. Overall I would rate this song 9/10. I can't wait for their next release!

Summary: A fantastic debut album from Klaxons
