As if designed to show what a stupid title “New Rave” is to give anything, Klaxons’ latest single sounds like a less jagged and more French version of Bloc Party. I’ve never had much time for this band before but, I have to admit, Golden Skans is pretty darn catchy.

Now, if you could just hold that order of whistles and air horns, take a deep breath and wait for the release of Klaxon’s debut album, Myths Of The Near Future, next week.
