I haven’t heard anything about the Klaxons
for a long time now, the whole hype of the band
has died down ever so slightly as they have been
away writing and recording for their second album
‘Surfing The Void’ which I believe
is very close from being finished and released,
but in the meantime the band are giving their
fans a slight taster from the album with their
brand new single ‘Echoes’ which is
released on the 16th August.
‘Echoes’ is slightly different from
the material featured on the band’s debut
album and what makes ‘Echoes’ sound
different is the fact that the song sounds more
mature, the synths are slightly toned down but
still have that futuristic space age feeling about
them and the vocals are bigger better and clearer
than ever before really taking the journey on
a vocally massive journey.
If ‘Echoes’ is anything to go by then
I believe that the Klaxons will breeze through
with their second album, every band has the hard
task of releasing a cracking second album after
their first has brought them into the mainstream
and some succeed with the second album whilst
many fail and I believe that the Klaxons will
join the list of bands that have succeeded.
4/5
