Klaxons: 'No new album until 2010'

Band say they have loads of songs but no producer

Klaxons have put back their forthcoming second album until 2010.

NME.COM broke the news that the London band were re-recording parts of the follow-up to their 2007 debut 'Myths Of The Near Future' after initial versions were rejected by their label.

Now, despite having nearly 30 songs at their disposal, the band said they are still looking for a producer to finish the new record following work with James Ford, who also produced their debut.

"We've now got 28 songs and we're just about to put it together as a complete record," frontman Jamie Reynolds told BBC 6 Music. "We're looking for a producer and if anyone out there makes records, give us a bell."

Explaining the delay, he added: "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."

The band have previously showcased new songs 'Moonhead', 'Imaginary Pleasures', 'In Silver Forest' and 'Valley Of The Calm Trees' on a clutch of live dates earlier in the year.

I'd be willing to bet that their re-recordings have also been knocked back, and that the "album" that eventually appears will be entirely different to the one they submitted. As I suspected, not capable of sustaining a career.

here's an idea, produce it yourself!! i dont understand why they have to 'find' a producer, no one else will know what they wanna sound like better than themselves, worked for the smiths on their second album! what ever happened to all the other nu rave second albums ..shitdisco, sunshine underground, new young pony club etc?!?! how many years does it take?! record company bullshit!!

To be honest, i like the Klaxons ...but i've losing respect for them recently...they seem to be treading too carefully and lack the balls to tell their record company to fuck off. The minute you let them interfere with your creativity it's game over......grow some hairy ones lads!

Klaxons have admitted they were told to re-record their second album after their label rejected their first efforts. The nu-rave kings have been working on the follow-up to 'Myths Of The Near Future' with producer James Ford since last year, but rumours that all was not well with the sessions began reaching NME's ears recently.
