The Mercury Prize, in attempting to maintain its reputation as a serial career killer, appeared for a while to have done for Klaxons.
However, after much upheaval, mind expanding and session scrapping the band are finally ready to release a follow up to their debut with the provisionally titled Surfing the Void and are streaming a teaser of things to come from their all new site.
On first listen, Flashover is so distinctively Klaxons it sounds vaguely identical to everything the band has done previously, but without pinning down exactly what. It is though much, much heavier than anything they've done before, backing up claims of a back to basics rock record with producer Ross 'Korn' Robinson's influence stamped on the prominent, heavy bass and screaming guitars.
The four are off previewing more new stuff in July, visiting London's Village Underground on the 27th.
