The Klaxons Announce New Single & Tour

Following on from the massive hit Golden Skans and their debut album Myths Of The Near Future debuting at number 2 in the UK album charts, not to mention their winning best New Band at the NME Brat awards, Klaxons pop a glace cherry on top of the cake with the release of their fantastic new single Gravity’s Rainbow.

In today’s Britain where bands can be found singing about the minutiae of everyday life Gravity’s Rainbow is inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s epic post-modern surrealist novel of the same name. An unusual starting point for what is a dizzyingly hyperactive anthem collision of post-punk piano rave power pop.

The song that inspired Super Super magazine on first hearing it to describe Klaxons as “Josef K meets Baby D”. This has long been a highlight of their frenetically exuberant live shows and now it’s set to take the airwaves and charts by storm. With their forthcoming tour already sold out and a gold album already in the bag, this is set to be the Klaxons year and they’re inviting you to follow them to infinity. And, obviously, beyond.
