Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future (w/ Amelia Bayler)

Amelia Bayler (nu-rave snack food expert, stand-up comedian and pop-star in her own right) comes on the podcast to discuss the dance-rock opus MYTHS OF THE NEAR FUTURE by KLAXONS. Named after a collection of short stories by sci-fi futurist J.G. Ballard, this record won the Mercury Music Prize with its winning blend of rave music and time-travelling lyricism that blew Klaxons up, leading to such feats as being on the soundtrack to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the Playstation 3.  This week Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, Liam Withnail and Amelia Bayler listened to it and now they’re going to talk about it. They shot on everything from Ministry of Sound to Skins parties and the evolution of indie’s relationship to dance music. All that plus Tattoo Woohoo/Tattoo Boohoo, Unhinged YouTube Comment of the Week and, as always, Secret Posho. Enjoy! ******************** Check out the Patreon!
