Klaxons - Myths Of The Near Future

Steve Lamacq Album Club

Steve Lamacq plays Klaxon's Mercury-winning debut from 2007 in full.

Steve Lamacq plays Klaxon's debut album in full.

The biggest record of the 00s nu-rave scene, Klaxons' debut album was released in January 2007. With a title taken from the 1982 J.G. Ballard book of the same name, the album was produced by Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford. At the time it was released it was the total opposite of the indie bands of the time with their unfiltered lyrics about real life. Klaxons' lyrics instead referenced mythical monsters, the lost city of Atlantis and letters written by 19th century occultist Aleister Crowley - to name just a few. The mix was an unlikely success and the band beat the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Bat For Lashes later that year to win the 2007 Mercury Music Prize.
