There are many bands we eagerly await the return of. But few names turn us into blabbering fools and Klaxons are one of them. Like all their Myths Of The Near Future, Flashover hits you and leaves you on the ground not being even able to wonder what. It provides continuity without repeating the major themes of their debut album. There's a spaced-out weird pop catchiness about it but it veers shamelessly into what could be prog-rock and the key swifts are almost too sudden to let you fall into singalongs. Not interested in adding new words to the British dictionary, Klaxons shed all the cryptic adjectives and metaphors but the effect is just as unsettling: “Now we have become so un-alone” they sing in high pitched cold harmonies giving you the chills. Flashover, while just a bite of the upcoming album, Surfing The Void, has all the crazy elements that should hint to a new brillian material. It's a fitting reintroduction to Klaxons' twisted world and, my, don't we love it.
