Crate Minds: Simon Taylor-Davis of Klaxons
The album art adorning Klaxons' upcoming LP numero dos Surfing the Void has turned more than a few heads, all thanks to the already-iconic image of bandmember Jaime Reynolds' cat Orphee bravely donning an astronaut's space suit. It's only fitting that Simon Taylor-Davies shares with us the album covers he thinks are worthy of being tagged 'iconic', all from his personal collection.

Klaxons Play UK
Klaxons returned to the live arena late last week, playing both Southend Chinnery's and Colchester's Arts Centre in UK. The pair of gigs came just after the band revealed the first taste of their upcoming sophomore album last week, "Flashover", which was performed alongside 5 other new songs in addition to oldies like "Golden Skans" and "Atlantis To Interzone".
More details about album number two coming very soon.

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.
