UK release date: 12 June 2006
Klaxons - Atlantis To Interzone

buy music
Although the idea of mixing rock stylings to rave beats isn't quite as revolutionary as the Klaxons would have themselves believe (The Prodigy were doing it over 10 years ago for one thing), there's no denying that Atlantis To Interzone has one of the most exciting introductions you're likely to hear all year.

Sirens wail, a Kasabian-style bassline kicks in, before giving way to a ridiculously infectious singalong vocal. It changes key halfway through and goes even more mental before the sirens kick in again. It's like something Test Icicles would have produced, had they been any good. It grips you from the start and refuses to let go, resulting in one of the most exhilarating singles in quite a while.

B-side 4 Horsemen Of 2012 is in a similar vein but sadly is more confused noise rather than addictive melody. They've been hyped to a rather unhealthy degree already, which could well be to their detriment - it would be a shame if this were so for they have the potential to be one of the country's most exciting bands.
