The Klaxons have said that their famously scrapped follow up album to 2007’s ‘Myths Of The Near Future’ was reminiscent of MGMT’s latest ‘Congratulations’.
James Righton from the band told XFM, about the band scrapped an album’s worth of folk songs because it didn’t represent who they were. James said “We made an album’s worth of stuff. It was great music, we were all really happy with it. But it just wasn’t us. We thought; this isn’t what we are”.
James continued that the highly anticipated second album could’ve been “similar to the MGMT record…which is still a really good record, but it’s not the commercial record the last one was” leading down a path of music that is “really folky, kind of proggy rock”.
Their new song Flashover was debuted on their website this week, so be sure to catch the band’s series of UK shows this summer to hear more of their new stuff.
