new klaxons finally!

So tomorrow, the new klaxons album, Surfing the Void, comes out. I have kind of been waiting for this day to come for a few months now... but not really. Luckily I didnt even have to wait for the release date because I came across a torrent of the cd last week. I am still not 100% sure if its real, but its good enough. Lol

The Klaxons' debut album, Myths of the Near Future, came out in 2007. Back then, I was in grade 12 and I somehow stumbled across a few of their songs. I downloaded the whole album this year and its pretty awesome. It should be because it won the award for best UK album, aka the Mercury Prize

It is said that sophomore albums are usually never as good as a band's first. This statement unfortunately holds true for these guys. The Klaxons' new album has a different sound than the first one. Some songs actually sound a bit like Muse... But a lot of the tracks off also start to blend into one after a few listens. I'm not much of a album critic though, so I totally still enjoyed it. ahaha

Here is my favourite track off the Surfing the Void which is coincidently also their first single;

And as a special treat, here is my favourite song off their first album. The music video is also fairly entertaining;

If these songs catch your fancy at all, check out the albums. But if your a song boi like Jamie, just stick to their main songs

p.s. Embedding is definitely easier than I thought. Yesssss, blog n00b no more
