LISTEN: Klaxons – There Is No Other Time
Since their 2010 sophomore LP ‘Surfing The Void’, Klaxons haven’t been around as much as we would have liked them to have been. Following a few live shows here and there, they descended back into the darkness of the studio, enlisting certified legends such as Erol Alkan, James Murphy and Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers to lend a hand and finally create an album which not only will “blow people’s minds” (according to the band), but that also extends far beyond the sounds from their Mercury Prize winning debut ‘Myths of the Near Future’. The first cut from the forthcoming record, which is slated for a mid-2014 release, comes in the form of the refreshing ‘There Is No Other Time’ – and we absolutely love it. It’s a single which certainly breaks the mold, fusing a plethora of samples with pop sensibilities and a vastly different approach to any vocal style we’ve heard from them before.
There Is No Other Time is released on March 21 through Modular.
