Review

Man, "Myths of the Near Future" by Klaxons is like a wild ride through some futuristic dreamscape. Dropping back in 2007, this debut album is a killer mix of indie rock and electronic vibes. It's inspired by J.G. Ballard’s short stories, giving us a peek into their futuristic vision. The album kicks off with "Two Receivers" and keeps you hooked with bangers like "Golden Skans." Their use of synths and electronic beats makes the whole thing super catchy and layered.

Tracks like "Gravity's Rainbow" and "It's Not Over Yet" are just masterclasses in creating addictive hooks and melodies. Produced by James Ford from Simian Mobile Disco, the sound is polished, letting every instrument really pop. The concept is pulled off brilliantly, with lyrics creating vivid imagery of that futuristic world, true to the album’s title. Snagging the 2007 Mercury Music Prize, this album is proof of Klaxons' innovative spirit. If you're into indie rock or electronic music, this one's a must-listen. - Ethan
