Klaxons To Release First Great Record Of 2010
Klaxons have unveiled new info on their forthcoming LP. Speaking with an eager BBC Music, Jamie Reynolds spilt the beans on the elusive trio's latest biz. "We've got 28 songs, and we're just about to put it together as a complete record" he proclaimed. Originally slated for 2009, the lads have pushed back the release until 2010... "We'd really like to put out the first great record of the 2010s rather than the last great one of this decade. Now that's become an aspiration and a goal." Excited?
Ladyhawke Tops NME Cool List
Ladyhawke has had her debut in NME's annual cool list, coming in at number six. We've always known Pip is cooler than the other side of the pillow and NME have just confirmed it, saying:
Live she's so shy she can barely look at the audience, yet Pip Brown's limitations as a performer are an intrinsic part of her appeal, creating an enthralling disjunction between the euphoria of the music and the punishing self-doubt of its creator.
Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Jamie Reynolds of Klaxons also made the cut.

Klaxons
It’s no coincidence that the word ‘klaxon’ derives from the Greek word for ‘to shriek,’ for when self-proclaimed London “nu-ravers” Klaxons burst into the scene like rebellious extra-terrestrial beings without a cause, they caused nothing but shrieking. Their 2007 debut Myths of the Near Future earned them a prestigious Mercury Prize in addition to a devoted cult following only expected to multiply with the unveiling of their second LP.
