“Golden Skans”
from the album Myths of the Near Future
2007
Already infamous for biting chunks out of various unlikely musical influences — spattering their lyrics with a who’s who of cult literature and then ending up with a music that’s poundingly catchy, driven and unique — Klaxons prepare their main assault on the charts with the anthemic new single “Golden Skans.“
A hypnotically sweet pop harmony is the backbone of the track, a sweeping, shiny dream of a song that will wipe clear the presumptions of those that think they know and tickle those already in the band’s thrall even deeper into their cosmos.
The band’s debut album Myths of the Near Future is to be released on January 29, a formidable array of instant yet deep and multi-layered moments that can be deciphered or danced to depending on mood and predilection.
