It’s been three years since Klaxons burst onto the music scene, injecting a dazzling and much needed moment of rave hedonism into the midst of indie tedium with the truly original and enormously influential Mercury award-winning album Myths Of The Near Future.

Now they are back with the eagerly awaited follow up. Produced in LA by US rock legend Ross Robinson (Sepultura, Slipknot, At the Drive In, The Cure) and written over the course of a three year long musical journey, it’s a brilliantly diverse and engaging alternative rock record.

We were given a taster of what to expect – or perhaps what not to expect -with the teaser track ‘Flashover’ being streamed on www.klaxons.net last month.

Now it’s time for the full sonic explosion.

The new album, entitled Surfing the Void will be released on August 23^rd through Polydor. The track listing is:

1. Echoes
2. The Same Space
3. Surfing The Void
4. Valley of The Calm Trees
5. Venusia
6. Extra Astronomical
7. Twin Flames
8. Flashover
9. Future Memories
10. Cypherspeed

‘Echoes’ is the lead single from the album, and will be released on August 16th.

Klaxons will be playing the following live shows:

15^th June – Paris Nouveau Casino

13^th July – Glasgow King Tuts

14^th July – Manchester Ruby Lounge

27^th July – London Village Underground
