Song of the Day - November 2, 2006

The latest craze to come from Britain is The Klaxons. A band that is determined to get you up and dancing. They incorporate elements of rave music, note the sirens, but their music is more angular and jagged with a touch of Gang of Four. NME has raved about the single "Gravity's Rainbow" named after the great postmodern fiction of Thomas Pynchon, but I love the track "Atlantis To Interzone." I feel it is the standout track on their EP Xan Valleys. Once the initial sirens give way to a spastic guitar riff and high pitched vocals, you will have an uncontrollable urge to dance around the room. Click here to listen.
