Klaxons Unveil Video For ‘Echoes’ and Tour Dates!
aaamusic | On 20, Jul 2010
This week, Klaxons have unleashed the otherworldly video for their new single Echoes, which is released on August 16th through Polydor. It’s the first single to be taken from their highly anticipated new album Surfing the Void, out August 23rd, and sees Klaxons braving the blistering heat of the Egyptian White Desert.
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 track listing for Surfing the Void is:
- Echoes
- The Same Space
- Surfing The Void
- Valley of The Calm Trees
- Venusia
- Extra Astronomical
- Twin Flames
- Flashover
- Future Memories
