Klaxons Talk 'Raucous' Second Album

Klaxons are taking even longer than expected to release their overdue second album, which is now not expected until 2010.

Work on the sequel to the 2007 Mercury Award-winning 'Myths Of The Near Future', is well underway, with almost 30 songs written for possible inclusion.

"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," Jamie Reynolds told BBC 6 Music.

On the LPs progress, he added: "We've now got 28 songs and we're just about to put it together as a complete record. We're looking for a producer and if anyone out there makes records, give us a bell."

As for how the record is shaping up, he says Klaxons have "taken it to the next stage and it's rawer and simpler. We've stripped the complication and we're back to being raucous."
