Klaxons have revealed how their new songs are progressing, describing them as "heavy and delirious".

Simon Taylor-Davis also explained how the group are behind schedule after taking off longer than they planned to recover from their hectic 2007.

The guitarist told BBC 6Music: “We’ve got back together to start writing and we are just kind of starting and it’s sounding really, really good and heavy and delirious and a bit all over the shop.”

Taylor-Davis also said that the band were "dead" after last year and so have only just begun to work on the follow-up to 'Myths Of The Near Future', saying: “After last year, we were just dead and we needed to stop and breathe and leave each other’s side for a little bit so everything’s been shuffled a bit further forward – or backwards - but hopefully the record will be out this year still.”
